"Im barocken Welterklärungsmodell gerät die Falte zu einem Quantor, der die unterschiedlichsten Variablen miteinander verknüpft"
This is from an art theory essay based on the writings of Leibniz and Gilles Deleuze, who were interested in "the fold" as a philosophical metaphor. That aside, "Welterklärungsmodell" seems to be not entirely uncommon in German, any suggestions of an English equivalent would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
