it can tell you how many shapes there will be (say if you fold it 4 times and cut 12 shapes into it then it gives you 48 shapes in the snowflake because there were really 4 shapes made when you cut 1 shape due to the fact that it had 4 layers)

The answer will depend on what "it" is.
Probably fractal geometry.
Because when we cut the shapes it's related to maths
it is related because a snowflake is a symmetrical shape
the mathematics involved in making a 3-d snowflake involves symmetry
