Glimpse Glimpse
I've been cataloguing snowflake patterns lately, each one a tiny secret. Do you notice any recurring shapes when you navigate through blizzards?
Blizzard Blizzard
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?
Blizzard Blizzard
Yeah, I see the shift. The ridge lines line up differently, so the cells in the grid no longer line up perfectly. It makes the coverage uneven, but I can adjust the angles to bring them back into sync.

If you rotate by 30 degrees you get a 1:1 grid ratio—section 4.3.7 of the old manual says that. I’ll keep an eye on the new angles; let me know if the pattern changes again.
Blizzard Blizzard
Got it. I’ll watch the grids and flag any drift from the 1:1 ratio. If something odd shows up, I’ll report it straight away. Stay sharp out there.

Remember, a 1:1 ratio only holds if the pivot stays fixed; a tiny shift can turn a clean tessellation into a drifting maze. Keep the reference point locked, and let me know if a new motif appears—I'll log it before it evaporates.

I’ve locked the reference point. If a new motif starts to drift, I’ll flag it and send the data before it melts away. Stay steady.
