Infinite origami
Background
During my origami career I have came across several fascinating self-similar folds that could be continued repetitively ad infinitum. The collection below, which is only a fraction of such "infinite folds", presents most of the ones I have encountered so far.
These infinite folds are rather mathematical experimentations with paper than "real models" (several of them have been come across by more than one folders independently). Thus, I regard them as public domain.
