It sounds and feels like a gentle world, encouraging the user to relax and unwind, to let the tension go away.
'Fold' feels neat and formal and full of rules and expectations and judgment. That stern look with folded arms from a dance teacher or a parent.
The 'un' is the undoing of all of that.
I like the concept of 'unfolding' in poetry. I don't know if anyone has talked about poetry in this way: the way a poem unfolds on the page, in text and meaning, visually line by line. Each line and image or thought unfolds another layer of meaning, until the poem is complete. For now. For every reading is another kind of unfolding of language.

Wow Tammy! You totally captured my thing this morning! Let's hope it unfolds justly and kindly for all concerned.
