Sure thing—think of each chord as a function call that passes an emotional state object to the next iteration, so every recursion depth tweaks the mood a little. In pseudocode: ```c // initialize base state Mood base = { tension: 0, resolution: 0 }; ChordSequence play(Mood m, int depth) { if (depth == 0) return {}; // base case: no more recursion // footnote: adjust tension here to reflect that twist m.tension += 0.3; // increase by 30% each loop // pick next chord based on updated mood Chord next = chooseChord(m); // recursion: play rest of sequence with updated mood auto rest = play(m, depth-1); // prepend current chord rest.unshift(next); return rest; } ``` You can keep a log of each recursion depth in a text file—no GUI, just a flat file, because I find that more reliable than those fancy data grids. If you want to visualize the progression later, export the log and feed it into a script that generates a simple SVG. That way you maintain full control over the rendering pipeline and avoid the pitfalls of third‑party libraries. Just remember: every recursive call adds a new layer, so your function stack will grow linearly with the number of twists. Keep the depth modest, or refactor into an iterative loop with a stack if you hit a stack overflow. Happy coding—and remember, never let a GUI steal your backstory.
