In Paul Jackson’s book “Complete Pleats”, anything with alternating 
valley-mountain folds are pleats.

So I don’t think there is a special name for pleats that form spirals or twists.

Subject: [Origami] What to call a diagonal pleat fold eg. nautilus

Hi,
do you still call a fold a "pleat fold" if the folds are on the diagonal 
instead of exactly parallel to each other?  For example in the origami nautilus.

Example:
1) start with a 4"x4" paper

2) Fold into quarters, divide the paper into 4 sections of size 1"x4"

3) turn paper over

4) make 4 diagonal folds within each of the 4 sections.

5) Collapse to form a spiral or twist.

What do you call this twisted pleat fold?

Thank you, Diana
