DEF

The self-similarity inherent in the crease sequence can be brought to visual life by making all creases right angles. The fractal so generated is known as the dragon curve, because later generations resemble a dragon. Two such dragons produce the twin dragon. The dragon curve is self-similar. The successive center folds, marked by little dots, fall on a logarithmic spiral, one of the basic (and smooth) self-similar objects, with many interesting applications.
