hostile - Story 66867 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Mr. Peterson, arms crossed, paced the small confines of his classroom. A bulky, awkwardly shaped vase, now occupied a corner of his desk. He’d received it yesterday, courtesy of Ethan, the student who constantly interrupted class. He never listened, and he was the bane of his existence.

He stopped pacing, his gaze fixed on the vase. The colors were too bright, the design garish. It was a perfect representation of Ethan's entire personality.

He wanted to smash it. He wanted to break it into a million pieces. He clenched his fists, forcing himself to relax. He knew he wouldn't. He couldn't.

Role in Research

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