From "The interior of things":
"Everything transpires as if the being of beings were a sort of origami.
There are only folds: plaits, pleats, creases, waves, crevices, knots,
and caves. And within each of those folds? Other fold! There are only
folds coiled within folds radiating to infinity in both time and space.
And if this is not enough, these folds are not fixed-crease folds, but
rather are mobile folds. The wave is a better image of the fold than the
envelope. A wave is a fold that perpetually folds itself, that
traverses a field and that maintains its identity through the repetition
of a process that is the unity of both difference and sameness. The
folds of being are not fixed creases, but rather being never ceases to
everywhere fold and unfold itself. Being is everywhere an undulation of
folds and of undulating folds. Folds envelop one another, enfolding
other folds within them. On other occasions and in other places, planes
or fields undergo processes of invagination through which the surface
becomes textured and riddled with crevices forming something akin to
caves. On yet other occasions, that which is folded unfolds. In
unfolding, that which is folded does not become a smooth or flat
surface. This, of course, sometimes happens as well, though perhaps the
flat surface or plane is the most folded being of all. More often,
however, that which unfolds configures itself as a new formation of
folds like a blooming flower."
