1) Start from the centre and reach any of the sides following a curve, such that as you traverse the curve your distance from the centre should increase, e.g., a circular arc that is less than a semi-circle. (The construction of this curve gives [at least] an uncountably infinite cubed number of degeneracies.)
2) Now take the reflection of this curve wrt the centre, and attach it to the original curve. This will give two-congruent pieces.
3) You can take the resulting curve and rotate it around the centre by pi/2. The two curves will give 4 congruent pieces.
The restriction on the original curve, ie. its monotonic behaviour, guarantees that the curves in steps 2 and 3 will not intersect.
- ColinWright 15y agoThat gives two infinite families. However, those families contain more examples than your process generates, there is another infinite family, there is a sporadic, and I have just been shown another example for which I am unsure if it is a sporadic, or one member of an infinite family. Not only do I not know everything, I truly don't know very much at all.
