We have studied the theology of bicontinuous ternary cubic phases formed by the system didode-cyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB)/D2O/octane. The cubic samples have the appearance and texture of optically clear, isotropic, highly viscous gels. The microstructure of these cubic phases is such that the surfactant bilayer containing the paraffinic tails and the oil may be visualized as decorating a minimal surface so that the latter constitutes the mid-surface bisecting the bilayer. Linear theology confirms that the dissipation becomes low at high acoustic frequencies and is consistent with the phenomenon of "ringing" in which underdamped shear modes in the gel couple to sound via the gel surface. The frequency-dependent theology also reveals a universal scaling form bt the melting transition of the cubic phase, with the dynamical scaling observed at this point reminiscent of a percolation transition. Nonlinear theological response is consistent with the formation of dislocation or slip-planes in the cubic structure, parallel to the direction of shear. The experimental observations are related to the dynamics of the water/surfactant/oil interface, and theoretical ideas are presented to account for the observed behavior. Our results suggest that frequency dependent theology is a useful structural probe of the dynamics of ternary cubic phases;
