I'm wrong again.



Just as a (finite) set of surfaces does not make a 3-d space,  so likewise a
(finite) set of tracks does not make a 2-d space.



Disk data is really stored in 1 dimension,  but the geometry is such that
random access is acheived by jumping over data,  rather than by winding by
it.
