It's a crease pattern. It's for people who are bored with the concept of instructions. Think of it sort of as what the model might look like if unfolded. Technically if you fold along those lines just right and in the right order you'd have the model.

I've never been able to accomplish that myself. If you'd going to give it a go, tell us how it works out!

Lang's "origami design secrets" book pretty much explains how to analyze and utilize the concept of crease patterns, to the point that you can take any model and adjust the number of of limbs (the large black dots in op's pic) and even the ratio of sizes of limbs.

I'm sure someone has a scan of the book or it's floating around here somewhere.

For example, the basic swan has 5 limbs - head, two wings, a tail, and that part that sticks up in the back. This can be seen in the bottom right of the op's pic where the tail and back legs define the square. In theory you can adjust the crease pattern to make a 2 headed swan, a swan with one wing larger than the other, or one with very small wings and a very long tail. You can even graft it to another swan and have them only connected at the tip of the beak, or at the end of a wing, etc.. still starting with a single flat square of paper. The only limit is how big a piece of paper you work with.

This is where origami gets to be awesome.

Almost. Order is not necessary. Certain starting points make it easier to locate all the creases, but you can do it in any order. Actually technically the best order is ALL AT ONCE.

That's a Crane, first off. Also, that's not a tail--it's the legs. You've got the theory right, as well as recognizing the bird base construction in Nicolas's Lion crease pattern.

And on the subject of crane variations: yeah they're pretty cool. I've done ones with 0-5 heads, (all except the 4-head were my own designs), fingers, extra wings, feet, cranes on the wings etc.

Wow, no wonder it defeats me.
