This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 5 truncated cubes, formed by truncating each of the cubes in the compound of 5 cubes.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of

(±(2+2), ±2, ±(2+2))
(±τ, ±(τ−1−12), ±(2τ−1+τ2))
(±1, ±(τ−2−τ−12), ±(τ22))
(±(1+2), ±(−τ−22), ±(τ2+2))
(±(τ+τ2), ±(−τ−1), ±(2τ−1+τ−12))

where τ = (1+5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).
