While, for the most part, spaces are indeed an issue of information portrayal, they also constitute the translation of a subject or science. It is a binary operator meant to isolate information, thus instilling meaning.

For example, ``two words'' is not the same word as ``twowords'', by virtue of the specification of the English language granting their context.

Other operators meant to separate but not combine components act in this way as well. Take the comma: foregoing spaces, a list may appear as ``1,2,3,4''. Yet without this operator we gain an entirely confounded meaning, namely, the number one-thousand two-hundred and thirty-four. The same could be said for a variety of symbols.

As you can see, it is in fact necessary to ensure the ``separation of concerns'' when utilizing the expression of a subject or science, giving rise to ambiguity if its conditions are not met.
