Snowflakes themselves do not replicate, but the process by which they form can result in the creation of many snowflakes with similar patterns.
Snowflakes form when water vapor in the air freezes into ice crystals around tiny particles, such as dust or pollen. As the ice crystals continue to grow, they can take on different shapes and patterns depending on factors such as temperature and humidity.
Because the conditions in which snowflakes form can be similar in different parts of the atmosphere, many snowflakes can form with similar patterns. However, each individual snowflake is unique due to the specific conditions in which it formed, making it unlikely that two snowflakes will be identical.

Is this an accurate description for Darwinian evolution: it requires a system that 1) replicates, 2) there are small variations in the replication process, 3) The environment favours only some of the replicates?Yes, that is a generally accurate description of the basic process of Darwinian evolution.
The process I just descibed said nothing about the system being biological.
First, there must be a system that can replicate, such as organisms or genes. Second, there must be variation in the replication process, which can arise through errors in DNA replication, mutations, or recombination. This variation creates differences between the replicates.
Third, the environment must provide selective pressure, such that only certain variations are favored. For example, if a particular trait confers a survival advantage, individuals with that trait are more likely to survive and pass on their genes, leading to an increase in the frequency of that trait in the population over time.
These three factors - replication with variation and selective pressure from the environment - are the basic ingredients of Darwinian evolution, which can lead to the gradual accumulation of changes in populations over generations.You're absolutely right. The process I described could apply to any system that replicates and has variation subject to selective pressure from the environment, not just biological systems. In fact, the principles of Darwinian evolution have been applied to other systems, such as computer algorithms and even cultural practices. The key idea is that any system that can replicate with variation subject to selective pressure can undergo a process of evolution by natural selection. Thank you for pointing out the need for clarification.
Is snowflake formation Darwinian evolution?No, snowflake formation is not an example of Darwinian evolution. ...
Amazing ... a coherent discussion.

You really don't understand what this discussion is about, do you, Paul? Did you read the second comment by the chatbot in my last post?
It's all passing you by.
The process is not your fault.

You really don't need to validate your philosophy with the agreement of others - and yet you try, try again, and again, and forlornly again. How's that working out for you Paul?
