Examining snow crystal patterning with scripts - Koch Snowflake

Snow crystals growth represents the intrinsic character of nature growth with the least amount of energy. The crystals attempt to divide and multiple systematically to capture more atoms from as the crystal travels through the atmosphere with the least amount of surface energy as possible. The Koch Snowflake model is a mathematical example of this growth and a basic illustrator of this process. The next few series of postings will show through diagrams, illustrations, and videos how this method be examined and utilized.
