Hmmm...  Reading it again, I still don't see how you can parse
"adjacency in any of the three dimensions" to mean what the code
is implementing.  Certainly, the code implements:

        if (deltaAlt <= 1 && deltaX <= 1 && deltaY <= 1) collision;

To me, that's overlap or adjacency in all three dimensions.  Certainly,
this defines a subset of conditions meeting "any of the three dimensions".
