mad - Story 87891 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The paper crackled in her trembling hands. A D. A D? After all the late nights, the research, the agonizing over every word? She slammed the grade report onto the desk, the force dislodging a stack of neatly arranged notecards, scattering them across the floor. Her breath hitched, a shallow, ragged intake of air. She wanted to scream, to lash out. Instead, she rose slowly, her legs feeling like lead, and marched towards the professor's office.

Role in Research

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