Resumen:
It is always surprising to see geometric patterns appear naturally in the world.
But, as interesting as the patterns we can see are the ones that don't appear at all!
A common example of such "missing patterns" can be found on everyone's fingerprints: you can count how many local patterns you see, I guess the answer will only be 3 or 4... You will find 3-branched stars on every finger, but no "X" anywhere! The mathematical notion of stability has been invented to explain which patterns are likely to appear; I would like to make a short introduction to the subject by giving and explaining the main definitions and tools.
