Abstract
How does an entertaining pastime such as paper folding evolve into a field of geometry? Can there be axioms about making creases on paper? Shiv Gaur talks about the axioms of the ancient but still richly-evolving field of origami, viewed as a ‘ cousin ’ of geometry, and then demonstrates its surprising power.
