I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as a wheel, is in fact, a cart and a wheel, or as I've recently taken to calling it, a cart plus a wheel. A wheel is not a vehicle unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning cart system made useful by the cart's frame, steering components, and vital structural elements comprising a full vehicle as defined by cart-dynamics. Many people move things every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of the cart which is widely used today is often called "a wheel," and many of its users are not aware that it is basically a cart, developed by the Cart Project. There really is a wheel, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. A wheel is a part: the circular component in the system that allows the cart to roll across the ground. A wheel is an essential part of a cart, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete cart. A wheel is normally used in combination with the Cart System: the whole system is basically a cart with a wheel added, or a cart and a wheel.
Sorry guys. I let a llm rewrite it, I was too lazy.
