Role in Research

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