      …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.

        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?

        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.

          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.
