Jan 11, 2021 at 18:28 comment added Sam Nead Re: invariant. I was going to colour various things, and use that to get a labelling a la Sperner. Your invariant is simpler.
Jan 11, 2021 at 18:26 comment added Sam Nead Re: slopes - good point. I should have said "make them piecewise linear but generic with respect to the vertical projection". I've added a simpler version of that to the answer. Thank you!

Jan 11, 2021 at 13:50 comment added Pietro Majer This is nice; I'd also arrange the slopes of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ never to be vertical, so that the intersection of $\alpha\cup \beta$ with $\ell_t$ is always finite and suitably continuous. I guess the invariant you mean is more subtle than as described in the quoted link; may be you mean "the parity of the cardinality of the set of pairs $(a,b)\in (\alpha\cup \beta)\cap\ell_t$ s.that $a$ is above $b$" (that is $a_2>b_2$), which is indeed locally constant (yet changes from $t=0$ to $t=1$).
