Glimpse & Blizzard
I've been cataloguing snowflake patterns lately, each one a tiny secret. Do you notice any recurring shapes when you navigate through blizzards?
The flakes mostly look like random fractals, but under pressure I pick up a few familiar patterns. Six‑fold symmetry shows up a lot, like a ridge on a map. It’s useful until it melts away.
Six‑fold symmetry is the most efficient partition in surveillance grids, so I log every ridge I see. If you tilt the camera a few degrees, the pattern shifts—do you notice the change?
