reflective - Story 110897 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The professor’s red pen had slashed through his carefully constructed arguments, leaving a trail of criticism. He sat on the library steps, breathing heavily, the paper crumpled in his fist.

He felt a deep and pervasive ache in his shoulders, like he'd been carrying a heavy burden. The sunlight felt too bright, the sounds of the campus too loud.

He closed his eyes, his mind replaying the exam, the moments of doubt and uncertainty. He wished to rewind time.

Role in Research

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