"Frozen lake plus minus zero" contemplates changes in a frozen lake surface that occur when the ice melts. Natural phenomena become visible, formed only by specific temperature changes, like lines, disruptions or special cracks reminiscent of the image of neural networks. They rarely emerge and are not noticeable for long. About those pattern you may find both scientific researches and explanations, as well as ancient rituals of Japanese Shinto priests, who attribute religious spiritual interpretations to these traces.
