hub and spoke

One node pinned in the middle and the rest fanned around it, each joined to the center and to nothing else. The claim it makes is strong: everything here reaches everything else only by passing through the middle. The useful reading is per spoke. A spoke you cannot describe in a sentence is a part that is attached by assumption rather than by anything real.

Example

Best when you already know the center and want to test what each outer piece owes it.
