_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pamela McCorduck Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 8:09 AM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: [FRIAM] A fractal question A biologist writes me a question about fractals that I cannot answer: "If a small portion is dissected out of a snowflake and suspended in supersaturated cold air will new water molecules condense on it as a scaffolding and thereby perpetuate the pattern of the snowflake from which the seed was dissected?" Can anyone here answer? "I happen to miss the Constitution; I thought it was a good document." Samantha Power
