Oh let's get pedantic!

The curved edges technically have infinite "side".

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago

....and a square has four interior 90 degree angles.

...and based on the infinite number of sides for a curved line aspect, the "90 degree" angles would all be +/- the limit as it approaches zero, so never truly 90 degrees but always an infinite fraction away.

Someone knows more calculus than they are letting on...

Yeah, we gonna need more rigor on this one.

"A square is a shape made up of four equally long lines a, b, c, d where a is perpendicular to c and d and parallel to b. Each of these lines meet exactly two other lines at it's ends."

I'm not a mathematician so there might an odd case somewhere in there. Maybe it has to be confined to a shared plane?

Not if this square is a projection of a curved surface

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

If it is a projection, then there are more than two curved sides, which also begs credence to the interpretability of the angles they intersect.

[-] danhab99@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

Well angles between 3 points are always going to be angles. If your choose a different configuration of dimensional parameters you can effectively project a square from the 2D plane into this exact shape, then logically the angles would follow.

You lost me at 3 points. Could you dumb it down a bit?

Yo bro let's downscale everything to 2D then upscale it to infinity or something, everything is possible when you project to this demonic crystal justttt this way /s
