Origami is an ancient art that continues to yield both artistic and scientific insights
to this day. In 2012, Buhler, Butler, de Launey, and Graham extended these ideas
even further by developing a mathematical construction inspired by origami — one in
which we iteratively construct points on the complex plane (the “paper”) from a set of
starting points (or “seed points”) and lines through those points with prescribed
angles (or the allowable “folds” on our paper). Any two lines with these prescribed
angles through the seed points that intersect generate a new point, and by iterating
this process for each pair of points formed, we generate a subset of the complex
plane. We extend previously known results about the algebraic and geometric
structure of these sets to higher dimensions. In the case when the set obtained
is a lattice, we explore the relationship between the set of angles and the
generators of the lattice and determine how introducing a new angle alters the
lattice.
