Cartesian coordinates

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

(±√(τ/√5), ±2τ−1, ±√(τ−1/√5))
(±(√(τ/√5)+τ−2), ±1, ±(√(τ−1/√5)−τ−1))
(±(√(τ/√5)−τ−1), ±τ−2, ±(√(τ−1/√5)+1))
(±(√(τ/√5)+τ−1), ±τ−2, ±(√(τ−1/√5)−1))
(±(√(τ/√5)−τ−2), ±1, ±(√(τ−1/√5)+τ−1))

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

gollark: "I don't need to know anything, I'll just copy example code."
gollark: Virtual cloud blockchain, *but* serverless.
gollark: Go's easy to read, but not easy to understand, since it actively discourages abstraction.
