Abstract: We show that for every $varepsilon>0$, there exists some $ggeq2$ such that the set of closed hyperbolic surfaces whose systoles fill has dimension at least $(5-varepsilon)g$. In particular, the dimension of this set -- proposed as a spine for moduli space by Thurston -- is larger than the virtual cohomological dimension of the mapping class group.
