stimulated - Story 139005 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The gallery buzzed with conversation. He spotted it across the room: his "Celestial Serpent" snaking across a man’s back. A powerful rush, a feeling he hadn't known existed, surged through him.

His gaze lingered on the tattoo, tracing the ink lines. He could almost feel the phantom touch of the needle, the sting, the completion. His fingers clenched and unclenched.

He maneuvered through the crowd, drawn to the man like a moth to a flame. He needed to know. He needed to experience. He felt giddy, lightheaded. He felt… changed.

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.
