Dennis Walker has a theorem that the number of petals in a Palmer Flower Tower must be greater than 5 (or else a crease length is negative, can't have that).
The only way to defeat a theorem is to escape the hypothesis ... which is what I have done. By negating some of the conditions of the theorem, I have constructed a (sloppy) example of a five-petaled Flower Tower. Exactly what is going on, I will leave as a puzzle for the reader. https://plus.google.com/115624021374660826601/posts/feRB6RngnV8 With best wishes, Galen T.
