stimulated - Story 139084 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Perfect timing, huh?" Mark's neighbor, Janice, called over the noise of the power saw. She was grinning, her cheeks flushed. "Just what the neighborhood needed!" Mark felt a surge of… something. He hadn't noticed how well the sun hit her cheekbones before.

He was suddenly acutely aware of every sensation – the grit under his nails, the warmth of the sun on his skin, the sharp scent of sawdust. He ran a hand through his hair, a nervous gesture.

“Yeah,” he replied, his voice a low rumble. He leaned against his own fence, his gaze fixed on Janice. He found himself wanting to reach out, to touch… anything.
"You gonna help with the digging?" she asked, her eyes twinkling. "I need some muscle."

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.
