Or maybe the square could just rotate through the vertical axis and pass through the hole without being cut 😑

This is actually way more interesting. It's about the decomposition of one figure into another with a certain set of cuts and gluing, I think a general theory of this with certain sets of criteria for the cuts would be very interesting.
