Craig S. Kaplan@Danpiker I've seen still images (and animations?) of these sorts of arrangements of squares for a while now, and I still don't believe they're possible.

The following toot helped me figure it out partially:

You need a tiling of the plane by "anchor" quadrilaterals,
where an anchor quadrilateral is a quadrilateral Q such that there is a continuum of squares whose each side passes through a vertex of Q.
Now I'm not sure yet what characterizes anchor squares...

myrmepropagandistDid you see the 3 blue 1 brown breakdown about the Esher painting?
This isn't the same but it feels similar.
Can this get as small as we like?
Escher's most mathematically interesting piece
@futurebird Yes - it's a very nice video. There is indeed a link - complex analysis. One way of generating these square tilings is via discrete harmonic functions.
