Gear Train: Locking and Blocking:

"In three-dimensional, omni-intermeshed, unclutchable, mechanical systems, if any gear is blocked, the whole gear train is locked. In a four-dimensional unclutchable gear system a plurality of local gears may be locked while the remainder of the system interarticulates freely."
