Description
A hand-drawn Tolkien-style interpretation of t-SNE clustering and dimensional reduction of snowflakes. Geographical features encode Gravner-Griffeath parameter values: woods (low ρ), grassland (low β), marsh (low μ) and desert (high θ). The speed at which the snowflake grew (steps to reach full size, n) is encoded by mountains (high n) and ice cliffs (low n). All names are generated using an RNN trained on 257 names of countries. The Flube network is drawn as thin lines with stations as loops with cities (medium size text) placed at the location of station positions.
