Lang proposes:
"Dry tension" folding is a style of origami in which substantial portions
of the artwork's appearance are created through the use of unrelieved
stresses in the paper, often, but not exclusively, through the use of
curved surfaces.
A straight or curved fold has tension along the
Words often do not convey the correct meaning.
I like John Smith's categorization of origami in a 2 x 2 table in his
article Art, Origami and Education. On the horizontal axis, he has
Techniques divided into Strong and Weak, and on the vertical axis, he has
Art, also divided into Strong and Weak.
I had folded a 4-D origami tesseract. But then I unfolded it into a 3D
tesseract that has 8 cubes. And now, I cannot remember how to refold it back
to a 4D tesseract. :) You can see my unfolded origami tesseract at:

There's an overlap of paper on both
sides of the intrinsic straight crease, which is curved in the final model.
Robert Lang calls the couplets flanges in his flanged pots. We can, of
course, have two intrinsic straight creases for the couplet. The
surface of the model will then be polyhedral.

Ever wondered what the origami crane looks like under its skin?
Birds don't have tails like (most) mammals have. I mean the tail as the
extension of the spine. What appears as a tail in the traditional Japanese
origami crane is, in my opinion, the pair
