ambification pre-image:
tid  

Rectification wrt. a non-regular polytope is meant to be the singular instance of truncations on all vertices at such a depth that the hyperplane intersections on the former edges will coincide (provided such a choice exists). Within the specific case of tid as a pre-image these intersection points might differ on its 2 edge types. Therefore tid cannot be rectified (within this stronger sense). Nonetheless the Conway operator of ambification (chosing the former edge centers generally) clearly is applicable. This would result in 2 different edge sizes in the outcome polyhedron. That one here is scaled such so that the shorter one becomes unity. Then the larger edge will have size a = x(10) = sqrt[(5+sqrt(5))/2] = 1.902113.
