stimulated - Story 139090 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The insistent whine of the power saw was a physical force, pressing against Arthur's chest. He felt like he had to *do* something, anything to match the escalating rhythm. The world felt too loud, too bright, too… present.

He slammed the newspaper down. He couldn't focus on the articles. He couldn't focus on anything.

He stomped outside. The fence was going up quickly. He approached the workers, his gait hurried, and said, "Let me help." His voice sounded strained, as if he was holding back a roar. The sun felt unusually hot on his skin.

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.
