Huffman, D. A. — “Curvature and Creases” (1976)Known outside this field for a way of compressing data, he spent years on what a creased sheet does in space. His 1976 paper treats paper as a surface with rules, and his observation about four-crease vertices is the small case of a law later stated in general.
