stimulated - Story 139046 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He hadn't felt this alive in years. The relentless, insistent noise of the jackhammer seemed to reverberate directly within him. It felt like something had been switched on. He felt the blood flowing, his muscles tightened.

He was sitting at his desk, but he hadn't opened his laptop all morning. His gaze was fixed on the house next door, being remade. He was a spectator, but he felt an intrinsic part of the process.

He slammed his hands down on the desk, the impact doing nothing to abate the feeling he was experiencing. He needed to be *doing*. He grabbed his coat, muttered something under his breath and walked out.

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.
