Good grief. that is not a square circle.
Logically/Mathematically that is a square circle.
If you meant something different, explain your meaning.

Show me a square that has only one distance for its radius.

Read the wikipedia article. Even the specific meaning of "distance" is defined for you.

By definition a circle has only one numerical value for its radius. Squares have different distances from its center.

By which definition of "distance" ?

Note that the diagonal "radius" is different from the vertical and horizonal "radius".

Note that the up and down lengths are greater then the distance of the diagonal lines.

Math has many different definitions of "distance".
Which one are you using?

They are identical. You are MEASURING "distance" using the wrong definition.

look at the top picture. The dot at the top is 2 from the center. The diagonal dot is 1 unit from the center.

That's why it's a circle.
YOU ARE USING THE WRONG UNIT.
Read this paragraph and understand it.
In taxicab geometry, distance is determined by a different metric than in Euclidean geometry, and the shape of circles changes as well.

I am using the units in the picture. Its 2 units from the top to the center and only one unit diagonally.
