stimulated - Story 139058 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the pawn shop seemed thick with unspoken stories, but for David, there was only one that mattered now. His gaze was riveted on the ring, a beacon of memory in the cluttered display case. A wave of sensation washed over him. He was suddenly aware of every creak of the floor, every smell of old metal and dust.

A knot formed in his stomach. He felt an intense focus, as though the world had narrowed to this one object. He had to be decisive. He had to acquire it. He felt the blood pounding in his temples as he pointed.

"How much for that?" His voice sounded alien, even to his own ears. He felt the shop's temperature change. He wasn't sure if it was hot or cold.

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.
