On September 27, David Mitchell replied to the "Dry Tension definition" thread and since then I have been waiting for someone else to contribute on this interesting topic, maybe someone else during this time has given it some thought and then forgot about posting about it?
So far the "dry" and "unrelieved" words of the definition have been challenged and the concept of it necessarily being done using at least one curve has been refuted. The part of the definition about two or more layers of paper, might seem not to provide much information at first (since almost every origami model has more than one layer at some areas), but I think the definition about the 360° of a circumference being forced not to be flat by another surface which does not occupy 360° is the closest to what I understand as "dry tension", so here's when (at least to my understanding) the two or more layers concept is important. What's missing is and explanation of the locking mechanism that keeps it in place without the use of tabs and pockets. So? Chime in even with a crazy idea. -- Jorge Jaramillo
