disturbed - Story 33844 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It was the fifth time this week. Michael felt a knot tighten in his stomach. He was trying to concentrate on his presentation, but the incessant, high-pitched squealing of the saxophone upstairs was shredding his focus. His fingers drummed restlessly on the table. He felt a surge of heat rising in his neck.

He pushed back his chair, the screech a brutal interruption. He needed to get away from the noise. He needed silence. He marched to the front door.

His face was flushed.

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.
