@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.

@csk
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...

@Danpiker i just absentmindedly stared into the center of this one (where my cursor was sitting), and when i stopped the animation by removing the cursor I perceived an unusually intense "reverse motion optical illusion"... even the text box i'm typing this in seems to spiral :)
