The Cosmic Spiderweb and General Origami Tessellation Design [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1809.00015


The cosmic web (the arrangement of matter in the universe), spider’s webs, and origami tessellations are linked by their geometry (specifically, of sectional-Voronoi tessellations). This motivates origami and textile artistic representations of the cosmic web. It also relates to the scientific insights origami can bring to the cosmic web; we show results of some cosmological computer simulations, with some origami-tessellation properties. We also adapt software developed for cosmic-web research to provide an interactive tool for general origami-tessellation design.
