stimulated - Story 139135 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The professor’s office felt small and cramped, the air thick with tension. James leaned back in the uncomfortable chair, trying to appear nonchalant. But inside, something was roaring. The blood felt hot, flooding his veins. His fingers drummed a frantic rhythm on his knee.

He kept replaying the scene in his head, the way the professor's face had contorted with disapproval. It was the thrill of the defiance that got to him.

He took a deep breath, and the professor’s gaze held a hint of amusement. “Well, Mr. Davis, are you going to explain?” James finally spoke. "I have nothing to add at this moment". He felt a thrill of defiance.

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.
