stimulated - Story 139007 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The artist, Ben, leaned in close to examine the tattoo. "Intense," he breathed, tracing the inked lines of his "Fractured Reality" on the woman's forearm. A jolt, like static electricity, ran through him. His pulse quickened.

He felt a sudden need to be… closer. To understand the story behind the art’s new life on another's skin.

He felt an impulse to capture her, to create again. His mind raced with ideas. His fingers twitched, desperate to hold a brush. He wanted to capture this sensation, this… explosion of color. His studio felt miles away and yet, a burning itch was already making its way there.

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.
