I think almost everyone here is familiar with the Corner Distance data that is used for pruning brute force searches for the 3x3x3 cube. This database features using one cubie as a "reference point" about which to orient the cube, and the relative disposition of the other corners is determined after hunting for that fixed frame of reference.

I decided to create a database that:

A. requires no single point of reference
B. contains all 24 possible rotated states of the cube's corner arrangements
C. measures the distance the corners are from the solved state with respect to the fixed centers
