He paced the living room, a caged tiger, the low growl rumbling in his throat.

Role in Research

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