A fold is an exponential function not a linear one, a two fold increase is 2^2=4 a three fold increase is 2^3 = 8 so for all those people miss using two fold three fold, fuck you!

Uh ... no. We have different words for things because they have different meanings. "Exponential" is used for, well, exponents. Those little 2s and 3's in your post are called exponents.

Don't take my word for it.

: threefold - three times as great or as much; treble: a threefold return on an investment.
: threefold - being three times as great or as many: a threefold increase
: three times as big or as much: a threefold increase
: three times as much: a threefold increase in price

it was based on the concept of folded paper, one fold is 2 because it is 2x the thickness its is 2^x as a function not x as the function

If you base it on paper there is never an increase and it's all just manipulation and misrepresentation.

obviously i mean the added thickness of the paper after the fold. you fold it once you have 2 pieces hence twice as thick, fold it twice that would be the thickness of 4 pieces, dont bother mentioning the theoretical limits of folding paper.

Why do you assume it refers to paper folded in half? I regularly fold paper three times without ending up with 8 sheets' thickness. That's the standard letter fold.
