The inscribed square conjecture for conformal angle spaces

Let (X,B,)(\mathcal X,\mathcal B,\angle) be an angle space conformal to a Jordan curve, meaning that it arises from the angle structure induced by a Jordan curve under conformal equivalence. A tetragon is a four-point set {A,B,C,D}X\{A,B,C,D\}\subset\mathcal X with its cyclic angle data. Inscribed square conjecture. There exists a tetragon {A,B,C,D}\{A,B,C,D\} such that

(A,B,C)=π2,(B,C,D)=π2,(C,D,A)=π2,(D,A,B)=π2,\angle(A,B,C)=\frac{\pi}{2},\quad \angle(B,C,D)=\frac{\pi}{2},\quad \angle(C,D,A)=\frac{\pi}{2},\quad \angle(D,A,B)=\frac{\pi}{2},

and the remaining angles in the tetragon equal π/4\pi/4. This is an angle-space formulation of the classical Inscribed Square Problem for Jordan curves, whose general case is an old unresolved problem.
