stimulated - Story 139120 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Sam, we're shifting you to catcher." The baseball coach's words resonated in the quiet of the dugout. Sam, a speedy outfielder. The position change was unexpected. His breath quickened. He imagined the crouch, the quick throws, the responsibility.

He could feel his adrenaline surge, his muscles twitching. He paced restlessly, unable to contain his excitement. He wanted to catch, to throw, to be in the middle of the action.

"You think you have the grit for it?" the coach asked, his eyes evaluating. Sam’s voice cracked slightly, “Yes, sir.” He felt an explosion of energy inside him. He was ready to compete, ready to battle. He couldn't wait to get started.

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.
