Auto Origami
A physics-grounded folding laboratory where procedural crease topology is checked against a deterministic solver
Operate the deterministic folding laboratory.
The live frame requires a network connection and is an external hosted instrument. The local contract harness below remains independently operable if that frame is unavailable.
This is not a completed GPU contact solver or autonomous multimodal design agent.
Inspect the local state transitions independently.
This harness exercises the authored D23 states, event receipt, and exact reset path without treating the external display as verification.

This transparent browser-local instrument teaches the authored state contract. Exercising an assertion demonstrates fixture behavior only; it is not evidence of production performance, compression ratio, model uplift, cognition, safety, or universal correctness.
Purpose
Auto Origami is a browser-native laboratory for testing a simple but important boundary: a generative system may propose a crease topology, but deterministic geometry and simulation decide whether the proposal remains physically credible.
The live instrument generates or imports a FOLD crease pattern, triangulates the sheet, drives it through a deterministic position-based dynamics baseline, and exposes strain, collision, compression, symmetry, and multi-view observation state.
Implemented mechanism
The current public build includes:
- procedural Miura, radial waterbomb, Yoshimura, and preliminary-base pattern families;
- FOLD import, normalization, triangulation, validation, and export;
- a deterministic PBD reference solver with structural edge constraints;
- spatial-hash collision broad phase;
- synchronized paper surface and crease overlay geometry;
- top, front, side, and isometric observation views;
- local-only curation of completed folds.
The instrument is intentionally bounded. It runs without model keys and does not present a browser-local demonstration as proof of a production multimodal design agent or a complete GPU contact solver.
What to inspect
Use the live lab to change a topology seed, scrub its fold state, inspect stress and contact metrics, and export the resulting FOLD record. The visual sheet and crease overlay share one scene transform, so the rendered paper and its structural annotations remain spatially locked throughout the motion.
Truth boundary
The current solver is a deterministic reference implementation, not a claim of full paper physics. Vertex-sphere collision is a broad-phase guard; a production self-contact backend still requires vertex-triangle and edge-edge narrow phases, layer ordering, face-inversion checks, and thickness-aware separation.
The tool demonstrates that candidate geometry can be routed through explicit constraints and inspected rather than trusted because it looks plausible. It does not establish general folding correctness, manufacturability, or an autonomous research result.
Relation to Glyphd Labs
This instrument belongs to the Regenerative Objects program: representation systems where a compact, inspectable recipe can regenerate a visible object and return an evidence-bearing result. Its FOLD record is the addressable representation; the solver and observation readouts are the deterministic acceptance path.
