stimulated - Story 139118 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Mark, we need you at point guard." The announcement echoed across the gym. He was a forward, known for his scoring and rebounding. Point guard? He felt a sudden, inexplicable shift, as if the world had tilted on its axis.

He started bouncing the ball, the rhythm a familiar comfort. His mind raced, calculating, strategizing, anticipating. He walked around the court, his gaze darting from player to player. He felt a powerful impulse to dominate, to control the flow of the game.

"You got the court vision?" the coach inquired, watching him closely. Mark met his gaze, his eyes sharp and focused. "Yes, sir," he stated, his voice firm. His blood was racing. He was ready to lead.

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.
