High-tech clothing and projection systems that can alter the appearance of the wearer/user, according to the mood of that individual. A modosophont wearing moodomorphic clothing can quickly change their fashion style and outward form, using various kinds of smart matter (including, but not limited to, utility fog), and/or change their apparent physical form using projected 3D light displays emitted using optical phased array technologies.

Some individuals and clades regularly morph their entire bodies in this way. A person using such technology may be referred to as a moodomorpher, moodomorphist, etc. Using a combination of programmable matter and phased arrays, a moodomorpher can make themself appear much larger (or smaller) than their true size, and sometimes use this ability to interact with a wide range of clades and bodymorphs, although they usually use only the most basic levels of body transformation protocols, so they rarely become fully integrated with the temporary shape they have adopted.

Some extreme moodomorphists are also rheomorphic archanarchists, who believe in complete morphological freedom. In many cases they will subsequently undergo a complete physical transmogrification in order to fully inhabit their new appearance, although this change may not last very long in most cases.
