Metarecursion #2 — An Origami Fractal Structural System: Full Third-Generation Configuration (16 Branches)
Metarecursion #2 is an origami fractal system developed through long-term structural research. Its defining characteristic lies in its ability to generate and contain multiple non-exposed singularities within the interior of the structure, with each branch functioning as an independently recursive subsystem.
Unlike most origami fractals, in which singularities are typically placed along the edges of the paper to allow outward branching, this system employs carefully designed transition regions to fully embed sub-branches within the parent structure, enabling inward-branching fractal growth.
Even without the explicit addition of new branches, a single branch within this system is inherently recursive, capable of generating higher-order sub-branches internally.
This technical version adopts a fully symmetric and maximally populated configuration: four second-generation branches, each further subdividing into four third-generation branches, resulting in a total of sixteen third-level recursive units. This configuration is intended to examine the structural behavior, symmetry, and stability of the system under complete third-generation recursion.
