stimulated - Story 139116 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You’re moving to defense, Elena." The words, dropped casually by the team captain, hit Elena with a jolt. She’d always been a striker, the one who put the ball in the net, scoring goals. Defense? A whole new world.

She felt a tingling sensation in her limbs, a sudden urge to sprint, to move, to *tackle* someone. She walked back and forth, unable to stand still. The air around her seemed charged.

"Think you can handle the shift?" the captain inquired, raising an eyebrow. She nodded, her heart thumping against her ribs. The idea of being in the trenches, of protecting her goal, sent a wave of adrenaline through her. Her eyes sparkled. It was a daunting prospect, but she was eager.

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.
