patient - Story 102369 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The neon glow of the diner sign cast a long shadow across the street as Ben sorted through the mail. Another bill. A coupon for tires. And then, a small card. The message inside was simple, just a birthday greeting. The sender had not signed it.

He needed to fix the broken taillight on his truck. His taxes were overdue. He took a bite of his burger and chewed thoughtfully.

He'd get to it when he wanted to. The card rested on the table. For now, he enjoyed the taste of the warm food.

Role in Research

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