Interesting question… assuming the possibility of this kind of endeavor, I would indeed be interested in working on this kind of project, but my interest would also be fraught with ambivalence because I think part of what makes emotion so significant is that it necessarily resists objective specification. To situate emotion in mathematical formulas is to miss the point about emotion, which is that subjective experiences like emotion bear closer relevance to human experiences because human subjects are not objects and are therefore based in subjectivity, not objectivity. Emotion points toward objects, however, and so if there were mathematical approaches to understanding how objects affect particular kinds of emotional experiences, then I’d be much less ambivalent about this kind of prospect. The main idea I’m getting at here is that emotions should approached subjectively, and that eliminating subjectivity from emotion is a treacherous endeavor. This said, though, I am fascinated by the thought that fractal mathematics could meaningfully represent emotion in its fluid complexity. Thank you for this question; what are your thoughts about the use of mathematics to map emotion?
