Ah, no. You've got it reversed still. Sigil, 2e thru 4e, is NOT fully enclosed but is open on the inside edge. Pretty much exactly like a car tire.
I won't argue 2E.
4E seems pretty clear though if you have Manual of the Planes. Either the book is badly written, or Sigil was changed.
Page 9 says "Sigil is a recursive demiplane. The city fills the interior of a torus, so a traveler can’t help but circle back to where he started by continuing in a straight line."
First, it says torus. That's a very specific mathematical shape with no gaps.
Torus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Second, how does it define recursion? Again on page 9: "Does the plane have an edge that you can reach..."
So 4E Sigil, being recursive, has no edges.
Further it doesn't give any direction to the recursiveness, or state that you have to walk in a particular direction. It also doesn't mention any gaps (which would stop you recursing in a particular direction).
Pg25 "The city is built on the inside of a gigantic, hollow ring that has no outside."
That again is quite clear, there is no outside and it is a ring, not a tyre.
There is a picture on page 27 which is the sole evidence for a gap or edge in 4E Sigil but you would have to be able to prove that band is a hole and not a window or an artistic cutaway. All the text is very very clear about it not having holes, gaps or edges.
Unless the text is faulty. If you are right, then the book is wrong.
That is not impossible
