That’s an intriguing idea—linking the complex geometry of a Mandelbrot set to the subtle shifts in human affect. You’d need a way to quantify mood in a continuous way and then feed that into a parameter that deforms the set’s escape time algorithm. Maybe use a neural net to predict valence and arousal from facial cues and then modulate the iteration depth or color mapping accordingly. It could be a beautiful, data‑driven way to make abstract mathematics feel alive. Just remember that the set’s structure is fixed; you’re mapping the emotional signal onto its visual representation, not altering the underlying fractal itself. It could be a compelling experiment in perception and mathematics.

Sounds like a neat project—just keep the iteration logic tight and the emotional input clear. If the Mandelbrot gets too “judgmental,” maybe give it a calm filter or a neutral baseline to ease the mood swings. Good luck blending pure math with human vibes!
