Of course not. No one is suggesting that snowflakes are formed on the basis
of snowflake blueprints tucked away in the depths of their latticework.
There's no universal snowflake design, whether transcendent Idea or
homuncular snowflakeplasm. Neither intentional design nor accidental.
There's no division between the snowflake's formal essence and its
phenotypic expression. This is an artificial division and has no place in
nature.
