the rules of matter will only allow it to be folded 7 times max
Any paper can be folded in half for 6 times.
Four.
You will notice many small lines,circular lines through the steel. Damascus is actually laminated steel which could accept the much lighter pressure made by black powder shot shells. If the fine lines are visible in an area where the steel is lightly worn, then the barrel is likely damascus. If the lines are not visible, it is possibly "fluid" steel, meaning that it's not damascus. Up until early in the 20th century, gun manufacturers attempted to duplicate the appearance of damascus on what were stronger barrels. In either case, do not shoot the gun until you have had a gunsmith check it out.
Any size sheet of paper can only be folded in half 7 times.
Depends on thickness, and how many times it is folded.

If by sides you refer to the number of paper slices you can hold then the formula is this: assuming that when the paper has not been folded, the number of times folded is equal zero then the equation is: 2x, where x is the number of times folded. for example if the paper has been folded four times the number of sides is: 24 = 16

A square paper can not be folded more than seven times.
In the King James version the word - Damascus - appears 60 times the word - Damascenes - appears once
Don't take this as gospel on this subject, but this is my understanding. Damascus is a name of steel, made originally in (unexpectedly) a city named Damascus. Damascus steel was supposedly created by a combination of folding two different types of steel together, and folding the two steels over and over again, creating many layers that combined the properties of the two used steels. This steel was supposedly the strongest steel ever known; it was legendary. The secret was the supposed combination of the iron and carbon which created small tubes of reinforced carbon bonded with the ferrous iron, creating exceptionally tough steel in which the long tubes would be able to bend without breaking, creating exceptionally strong (and therefore very sharp and hard) steel but without sacrificing the flexibility of the weapon so it was not brittle. The technique of creating Damascus steel has been lost for centuries; I know that sound like a load of crap, but we seriously have no idea what happened to the creation technique. People may claim that we now have found a way to "recreate" damascus steel, but it's merely an imitation. We are guessing how and why the steel was both so strong and flexible, and that's kinda where we're at. A damascus gun is a gun which has parts made of damascus, most frequently the barrel. It is also an uncommon slang term; a "damascus" gun is sometimes used as a way to describe a gun which is match-grade or just functions extraordinarily well. It could also be used to describe a piece which has been heavily modified to improve on its quality.
