Abstract: Here are two problems. First, understand the dynamics of a tiling billiard in a cyclic quadrilateral periodic tiling. Second, describe the topology of connected components of plane sections of a centrally symmetric subsurface $Ssubsetmathbb{T}^3$ of genus $3$. In this note we show that these two problems are related via a helicoidal construction proposed recently by Ivan Dynnikov. The second problem is a particular case of a classical question formulated by Sergei Novikov. The exploration of the relationship between a large class of tiling billiards (periodic locally foldable tiling billiards) and Novikov's problem in higher genus seems promising, as we show in the end of this note.
