Robert,
I agree that origamic "compositions" best suit the process, with
processes often being symphonies of techniques, tools and materials
The persistent (if transient) artifact of such a process is an
instance, the act of rendering the composition is an example instance,
instantiation or to instantiate it, predicated on the acquisition of
said techniques, tools and appropriate materials (from purely an
information science perspective at least)
Origamists "realise" an origamic composition - they harness their
skills and punish materials to create their own "realisation" of the
piece - subtly different from the original composition but none the
less descended from it. Understanding the composition is demonstrated
and real by realising it in a physical form
Not sure if this is more noise than signal - interesting philosophical
discussion none the less.
