Her breath came in short, shallow gasps. A wave of nausea swept over her, and she had to lean against the cold, rough bark of another tree, struggling to maintain her balance. It felt as though someone had rearranged the world while she wasn't looking. She wanted to scream, but no sound would come.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion disoriented. 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 disoriented stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the disoriented emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
