The gallery had been holding her work for months, yet suddenly, here it was, the central piece of a debut show, attributed to someone else entirely. The opening was packed.

The numbers, bold and stark, swam before her eyes.

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.
