The sleek, black cat, Midnight, was the problem this time. Sam gritted his teeth, watching the cat stalk a fat robin. The bird was about to land right in the middle of Sam’s bird bath.

Role in Research

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