stimulated - Story 139078 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news from Michael sent a shiver down his spine. He reread the message, "Arrived today. Drinks?" His palms became clammy. The world sharpened and the colours seemed brighter.

He immediately threw on his favorite shirt. He re-arranged the furniture in the living room, even though it was perfectly fine. He was driven to constant activity.

He texted back immediately. "Sounds amazing! Where should we meet?" He felt like he could take on the world. The anticipation was both thrilling and terrifying. He needed to be *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.
