This compound has rotational freedom. Starting at φ = 0° with a completely coincident overlay of 6 cubes, rotating 2 cubes each, thought of as 4-fold prisms, around their common axis in opposite directions, and thereby passing at φ = 45° at a double cover of rah.

Bases of those 4-fold prisms pairwise fall into coincident face planes. So either they can be considered separately (type A); or they are considered as (rotated) 2-square-compounds (type B).

This compound can be vertex-superimposed (with full rotational freedom) to dis in the same way as each individual cube will be vertex-superimposed to each of those so. Furthermore, half its vertices can likewise be vertex-superimposed (with full rotational freedom) to sis in the same way as each individual cube will be related to the inscribed tet.
