Hi all,
I was pondering a terminology question recently, and thought it might be a
good one to throw out to this group to get opinions.
Background: as many of you may know, I think it's important to distinguish
between the artistry in the _design_ of an origami artwork, and the

The persistent (if transient) artifact of such a process is an
