IAFBVO... *phew* thats a mouthful!

While reading about with Peter Engel's idea of Traditional Japanese model's all being from a unit, where the kite base has two, the fish base has four, the bird base has eight and so on, I thought "what would it be if I took it past the frog base?" Well, it turned out to be a blintzed frog base. Well, what comes after that? A truly strange base, where, if folded wrong, makes the IAFBVO

IAFBVO stands for Insane Abstract Frog Base Variation Object (you can see why it needed to be represented with letters). It is made up of four frog bases put together, like so:
