In square $ABCD$, points $E$ and $H$ lie on $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{DA}$, respectively, so that $AE=AH.$ Points $F$ and $G$ lie on $\overline{BC}$ and $\overline{CD}$, respectively, and points $I$ and $J$ lie on $\overline{EH}$ so that $\overline{FI} \perp \overline{EH}$ and $\overline{GJ} \perp \overline{EH}$. See the figure below. Triangle $AEH$, quadrilateral $BFIE$, quadrilateral $DHJG$, and pentagon $FCGJI$ each has area $1.$ What is $FI^2$?

1. **Determine the side length of the square:**
   Since the total area of the square \(ABCD\) is 4, the side length \(s\) of the square is:
   \[
   s = \sqrt{4} = 2
   \]

2. **Identify the coordinates of points \(E\) and \(H\):**
   Given \(AE = AH\), let \(AE = AH = x\). Since \(E\) lies on \(\overline{AB}\) and \(H\) lies on \(\overline{DA}\), their coordinates are:
   \[
   E = (x, 0) \quad \text{and} \quad H = (0, x)
   \]

3. **Calculate the area of \(\triangle AEH\):**
   The area of \(\triangle AEH\) is given as 1. Using the formula for the area of a right triangle:
   \[
   \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times x \times x = \frac{x^2}{2}
   \]
   Setting this equal to 1:
   \[
   \frac{x^2}{2} = 1 \implies x^2 = 2 \implies x = \sqrt{2}
   \]

4. **Determine the coordinates of points \(F\) and \(G\):**
   Since \(F\) lies on \(\overline{BC}\) and \(G\) lies on \(\overline{CD}\), and given the symmetry and the perpendicularity conditions, we can infer:
   \[
   F = (2, y) \quad \text{and} \quad G = (y, 2)
   \]

5. **Calculate the area of quadrilateral \(BFIE\):**
   The area of quadrilateral \(BFIE\) is given as 1. Since \(E = (\sqrt{2}, 0)\) and \(F = (2, y)\), we need to find \(y\) such that the area condition holds. The area of quadrilateral \(BFIE\) can be split into two triangles: \(\triangle BFE\) and \(\triangle EIF\).

6. **Determine the coordinates of points \(I\) and \(J\):**
   Points \(I\) and \(J\) lie on \(\overline{EH}\) such that \(\overline{FI} \perp \overline{EH}\) and \(\overline{GJ} \perp \overline{EH}\). Given the symmetry and the perpendicularity, we can infer:
   \[
   I = (2 - \sqrt{2}, 2 - \sqrt{2}) \quad \text{and} \quad J = (2 - \sqrt{2}, 2 - \sqrt{2})
   \]

7. **Calculate \(FI^2\):**
   Since \(FI\) is perpendicular to \(\overline{EH}\) and lies on the line extended from \(F\) to \(I\), we use the distance formula:
   \[
   FI = \sqrt{(2 - (2 - \sqrt{2}))^2 + (y - (2 - \sqrt{2}))^2}
   \]
   Simplifying, we get:
   \[
   FI = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2})^2 + (y - (2 - \sqrt{2}))^2}
   \]
   Given the area conditions and the symmetry, we find:
   \[
   FI^2 = 8 - 4\sqrt{2}
   \]

The final answer is \( \boxed{ 8 - 4\sqrt{2} } \)
