stimulated - Story 139087 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clanging of metal on metal made Amelia's teeth ache, but she also felt something else, something she couldn't quite describe. She was finding it impossible to sit still. She hadn't felt this alive in years.

She had been working on a puzzle. The pieces remained scattered across her table. She tossed her hands up in frustration. She wanted to *move*.

She stepped out into the yard. Mr. Chen was meticulously measuring the distance between the posts. Amelia watched, captivated. "Those are very precise measurements," she stated, her voice sounding oddly strained. The air seemed electric.

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.
