Abstract: An "origami" (or flat structure) on a closed oriented surface, $S_g$, of genus $ggeq2$ is obtained from a finite collection of unit Euclidean squares by gluing each right edge to a left one and each top edge to a bottom one. The main objects of study in this note are "origami pairs of curves" -- filling pairs of simple closed curves, $$, in $S_g$ such that their minimal intersection is equal to their algebraic intersection -- they are "coherent". An origami pair of curves is naturally associated with an origami on $S_g$. Our main result establishes that for any origami pair of curves there exists an "origami edge-path", a sequence of curves, $$, such that: $alph{a}_i$ intersects $alph{a}_{i+1}$ at exactly once; any pair $(alph{a}_i,alph{a}_j)$ is coherent; and thus, any filling pair, $(alph{a}_i,alph{a}_j)$, is also an origami. With their existence established, we offer shortest origami edge-paths as an area of investigation.
