Rubik's Cube Motion Graph

What really moves when you turn one face?

A 3 by 3 cube and an orbital graph show the same 20 physical pieces.

Each motion token is one physical piece. Hidden means out of view, never gone.

How this world stays honest

Fact: A standard 3×3×3 cube has 8 corner cubies, 12 edge cubies, 6 fixed-center cubies, and 54 visible stickers.

Model: Each Motion Graph token represents one physical corner or edge piece. The advanced Sticker View shows the same state as 54 visible stickers; neither is literal internal cube geometry.

Simulation: The one-turn and full-trace playback are deterministic transformations of the local cube state. The full trace reverses its short sequence; it is not an optimal solve.

Limitations: This v1 world models face turns U, D, L, R, F, and B with inverse and double turns. It does not teach a complete solving method.

Educational context: Watch one move, then trace one cubie, then reveal a short sequence. Position and orientation are different parts of cube state.
