Abstract
  • There is a common perception that snowflakes are six-sided and a common quip that "no two snowflakes are alike". The 6-fold symmetry suggests that the growth is deterministic, while the differences suggest the growth is so sensitive to conditions that remarkable variety appears. We investigate fuzzy automata that give a great diversity of growth patterns, have sensitivity to background conditions, and which maintain the symmetry of snowflakes.
