The wheel has had a number of innovations over the years. The earliest wheels were flat disks of wood that were heavy and slow turning. The Romans invented spokes and metal rims which made them faster, more durable, and gave them more traction. Questions we need answered: What is this wheel in particular designed to do? Is there any way we could make it work more efficiently at its task? Do we value performance over reliability, or vice versa? Etc. Etc.

It works fine. It’s a perfectly good wheel.
Hey where is Underwaterbob?
He’s trapped in that Jigsaw room.
The door is unlocked though?
Yeah, but there is a wheel in there and UWB won’t leave until he figures out if there is a way to improve it.
Has any one asked him to?
No
Will he get paid to improve it?
No
What does the wheel do?
You roll it out of the way so you can exit the room.
To answer that, we’ll need to do a deep dive into foundation technology (to determine if it is lacking and needs some improvements) (because we don’t want our wheelshed to sink).

Well, now I’m clearly going to have to find a way to monetize the wheel as well.
Put a dynamo on it and sell the electricity
Use the electricity to power a screen and speakers and sell ad space!
Please stop giving BMW ideas.
Put a lock on the wheel and charge people $0.99 to temporarily unlock it.
Evil. I like it! Maybe some mandatory ad viewing somehow shoehorned into the unlocking process as well.
Sounds like proprietary blobs.
I think we need to take a bit of a step back and consider what kind of shed we might use to store this wheel…

I don’t know, that’s not really in my wheel house
Yeah but neither the romans, or medieval peasants had computers, so why are you on about?
Now we do have computers! Think of the models of wheels that could help us improve wheels!
