stimulated - Story 139004 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

From across the crowded cafe, Maya watched the woman. The vibrant floral design on her arm was unmistakable. "Dancing Embers." Her own creation, emblazoned now on a stranger. Heat pulsed beneath her skin.

She hadn't felt this… electricity in months. Her gaze locked with the woman's. A flicker of recognition passed between them. A challenge, perhaps? A thrilling, unspoken invitation.

Maya rose, her heart hammering. She felt a magnetic pull. Her legs moved on their own accord. The distance between them felt like an eternity. She found herself smiling, a wide, open expression she rarely displayed.

Role in Research

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