: Fold the paper according to the mathematical crease pattern to reach a "base"—a raw shape with the correct number and length of parts.
: For complex subjects (like insects with many legs), the design is mathematically laid out on paper before the first fold is even made. Key Technical Concepts
is widely considered the magnum opus of Robert J. Lang , one of the world's leading origami artists and physicists. First published in 2003, with a significantly expanded second edition in 2011, the book revolutionized the craft by revealing the mathematical and geometric principles that allow anyone to design original, complex origami from a single uncut square of paper. The Core Philosophy: From Recipes to Art
