Nonexistence of intrinsically aperiodic flats in compact triangle-square complexes

Let KK be a compact nonpositively curved triangle-square complex, let K~\widetilde K be its universal cover, and let FF be an intrinsically aperiodic flat. Intrinsically aperiodic flats conjecture. If KK is a compact nonpositively curved triangle-square complex and FF is an intrinsically aperiodic flat, then FF does not embed into K~\widetilde K and does not immerse into KK. This conjecture would exclude the aperiodic radial flats that obstruct the proposed Gersten–Short geodesic approach to biautomaticity; the source gives no resolution.
