stimulated - Story 139117 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cricket coach called out his name, "Rohit, you're going to bowl." Rohit, a batsman. His palms began to sweat. Bowling was a whole different beast. His muscles felt taut, ready to spring into action.

He imagined the flight of the ball, the curve, the speed. He wanted to feel the leather in his grip. He wanted to feel the power coursing through his arm as he unleashed it.

"Think you've got it in you?" the coach asked, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. A grin stretched across Rohit's face. He nodded vigorously. “Absolutely, Coach.” He could almost feel the energy, like static, sparking within him. This was a challenge he couldn't wait to meet.

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.
