stimulated - Story 139073 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email arrived like a jolt. Emily saw the subject line: “Guess where I landed?” It was from Mark, her online connection, the voice of reason she’d relied on for advice. The words tumbled down the screen: “Believe it or not, I’m in your city!”

A flush rose in her cheeks. She felt a magnetic pull to her phone, a desire to respond immediately. She tapped out a reply, her fingers tripping over the keys with excitement. "No way! Where are you?"

Her apartment suddenly felt too small. She needed to *do* something. She jumped up and started rearranging the books on her shelf, a flurry of movement. She wanted everything to be perfect, even if she had no idea what perfect looked like.

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.
