One vertex of a rectangular parallelopiped is at the origin O and the lengths of its edges along the x, y, and z axes are 3, 4, and 5 units respectively. Let P be the vertex (3, 4, 5). Then the shortest distance between the diagonal OP and an edge parallel to the z-axis that does not pass through O or P is:
