 The previous sections described how some original data, arranged into a `k * k` matrix, can be extended into a `2k * 2k` matrix and committed to with NMT roots. This section specifies how [available data](#available-data) (which includes [transactions](#transactiondata), [intermediate state roots](#intermediatestaterootdata), PayForBlob transactions, and [blobs](#blobdata)) is arranged into the matrix in the first place.

 These shares are arranged in the [first quadrant](#2d-reed-solomon-encoding-scheme) (`Q0`) of the `availableDataOriginalSquareSize*2 * availableDataOriginalSquareSize*2` available data matrix in _row-major_ order. In the example below, each reserved data element takes up exactly one share.
