Gear Cube involve either half turns or a full rotation. It has six stationary centers, each with a different color, that always stay opposite from another specific center. White is always opposite of yellow. Blue is always opposite of green. Red is always opposite of purple. Each center determines what color that side will be. The centers are exactly based on the original Rubik's Cube. They are connected by a three dimensional cross with screws and springs allowing for less tension. Many cube solvers use the same notation when completing a cube, whether they are working on the original Rubik's Cube, the
Principal root of unity Principal root of unity In mathematics, a principal "n"-th root of unity (where "n" is a positive integer) of a ring is an element formula_1 satisfying the equations In an integral domain, every primitive "n"-th root of unity is also a principal formula_3-th root of unity. In any ring, if formula_3 is a power of formula_5, then any formula_6-th root of formula_7 is a principal formula_3-th root of unity. A non-example is formula_9 in the ring of integers modulo formula_10; while formula_11 and thus formula_9 is a cube root of unity, formula_13 meaning that it is not a "principal" cube
