Itoh & Nara 2021, p. 13, §4. From the 24-cell onto an octahedron; "Lemma 4.2. There is a continuous motion of Q (the cuboctahedron without square faces) shown in Fig. 5a onto the octahedron W0 satisfying the following conditions for each face F of Q, e.g. F = 𝚫a1a2a3. (1) F is rotated and moved toward along the line l joining the centroids of F and 𝚫v1v2v3. (2) F always touches the cylinder T(F), that is, F is always orthogonal to l."

Fuller 1975, Fuller carefully folds a model of the cuboctahedron made of rigid struts with flexible joints through the entire rigid-edge transformation cycle; in this film, he does not demonstrate the elastic-edge transformation (which he observed in the tensegrity icosahedron), but he does show how a rigid regular icosahedron can be rotated inside an inscribing "vector edge cube" (a cube with an octahedron inscribed in it), keeping the 12 vertices on the surface of the cube (and on the edges of the octahedron inscribed in the cube) at all times; actually, Fuller could have rotated any of the kinematic polyhedra in an inscribing cube in this way: the entire cuboctahedron transformation cycle takes place inside an inscribing cube of varying edge length, with the 12 vertices always on the surface of the cube.
