awestruck - Story 12123 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The announcement crackled, informing Sarah that her flight to the Antarctic research station was postponed indefinitely. A knot formed in her stomach; she had dreamt of this for years. As she turned, she noticed the huge window of the airport and the planes lined up outside. The wind and rain battered the glass, and she watched, transfixed, the distant mountains fading in and out of the low cloud. It seemed the world outside had taken on a life of its own, an unpredictable force.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion awestruck. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 awestruck stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the awestruck emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
