How can I script this simple, folded structure?

Hello,

I'm new to Grasshopper and desperately need some help. I'm an architecture student and have to script a project.

I've come up with a simple folded structure that later has to be replicated parametrically along a given surface or curve, creating sort of a mesh or swarm. Each swarm element should attach to previous and next one in a specific fashion.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

The red lines are mountain folds. The folds shouldn't be static, but vary according to the position that they need to be in, to make the swarm structure possible.
The gray hatches are contact areas, where the the swarm elements are attached to each other (but don't need to be in the 3D modell):

The quick sketch above shows how the different swarm elements should attach to each other.
Furthermore, they should be able to vary in size.

Is this even possible?

How do I start?

Can anybody please point me in the right direction?

Thanks. :)
