The geocentric cuboda, having served indispensable roles in orienting and supporting architectural guidelines, now offers by the spherical, skeletal, planar aspects of its intrinsic pattern - the essence of the wheel.

Minus the cube, the cuboda's spherical manifestation is turned so as to pose a triangular cluster to the fore - the orientation that will almost always be associated with the cubodal wheel. In the context of the geocentric cuboda, this wheel is a macrocosmic wheel usually represented by a localized microcosmic wheel.

To see how this is so, a free cubodal wheel's front 3 spheres fade to expose the 6 spheres arranged around the center sphere that forms the underlying pattern and plane of the hexagon. This plane in turn bisects any sphere that formed it to derive a geometric element thus far underived - the circle. Inside the circle, the hexagon's intrinsic skeletal pattern of alternating triangles naturally evokes 6 spokes radiating from a central hub.

As any sphere may be so bisected and thus circularized, a greater cubodal wheel is marked by concentric circles radiating from the central sphere and keyed to the centers and radial diameters of outer spheres.

In a thought experiment focusing on the greater wheel's hexagonal cluster, the central circle is regarded as being frictionless while outer circles are considered engaged. When one circle spins, immediate neighbors spin oppositely, while alternate circles spin in the same direction. Abstracted from this exercise is a line of travel that joins 2 co-spinning hubs; an alternative, orthogonally-oriented hexagonal pattern formed by joining all co-spinning hubs; and a separation ratio between co-spinning wheels determined by S = D(√3-1), where D is diameter.  

Lastly, the greater wheel's axis of rotation transfixes oppositely-oriented triangles to suggest an alternating drive and an innate dynamism explored in Wheel Asymmetry, topic 2 of Rolling Transport.
