Sep 6, 2021 at 20:22 comment added Alessandro Codenotti @Kevin at each stage you make the middle point of any pair of cut point a cut point, but whenever you add a new cut point you increase the degree by 1 by adding more new segments. This is all well defined because at every stage you are adding finitely many things. (If you don't want to have to worry about constructing this as a planar continuum which requires some care in making the segments shorter and shorter just build it as a subdendrite of Wazewski universal dendrite $D_\infty$)
Sep 6, 2021 at 18:54 comment added Kevin Beanland Bill: Does your construction give three cut points of degree 4 or am I reading it wrong? We need a unique cut-point for each degree.
Sep 6, 2021 at 18:06 comment added Bill Johnson Start with a closed interval of length $1$. Make the center $x$ of the interval a cut point of degree 3 by attaching an interval of length $1/3$ with end point at $x$. In each component of the three intervals you have when you remove $x$, make the center $y$ a cut point of degree $4$ by attaching two intervals of length $1/4$ with end points at $y$. Et cetera.

Sep 6, 2021 at 16:58 comment added mme The degree of a cut-point is probably the number of components it separates the space into upon deletion.
