disturbed - Story 33227 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sheer volume of it was staggering. Lisa, her jaw clenched, found box after box in the garage, all filled with her mother's schoolwork. The neat handwriting, the carefully drawn diagrams, the detailed book reports. Her skin prickled.

She picked up a handwritten story about a brave knight, her mother’s signature at the bottom. It felt like an intrusion, a violation of privacy. A wave of disorientation washed over her.

Lisa closed the box, the clicking sound loud in the quiet garage. She had to leave, to get away from this carefully constructed monument to the past. The garage door offered a promise of release.

Role in Research

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