Terraforming Callisto for the New Jerusalem

Callisto equals 2410 kilometers in diameter. The New Jerusalem is 1400 miles on a side, equaling 2253.082 kilometers, which is 138.918 kilometers smaller than Callisto, which would have its waveguide ring 69.459 miles underground, for the entire circumference. This means that the highest point that bulges, out the exact middle of each side of the cube, remains 69.459 miles higher than the cube's edge. The amount of (extra) regolith represents 8 circular caps, of total volume 123,207,553.152875 miles cubed. The cube volume of the New Jerusalem equals 1400 cubed, or 2,744,000,000 miles cubed of re- purposed regolith .

Callisto will poke outside of the cube 138.918 miles, which means that the corners can either 1, Become filled with the differential regolith that potrudes from the middle of each side of the cube, or 2, excess regolith of 985,660,425.223 miles cubed, distributes into each of 8 corners, equaling 123,207,553.152875 miles cubed (available), per cube corner. This represents 15,400,944.144 cubic miles of regolith, 69.459 miles high in the center of each face of the cube.

It now would seem that the extra regolith can be used to build up each of the corners of the New Jerusalem, as shown in this video.
