stimulated - Story 139136 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Eliza walked down the hallway, her legs feeling like they were barely touching the ground. Each footfall echoed in her ears, a frantic drumbeat against the silence. The summons to the disciplinary hearing had felt like a shot of adrenaline, a jolt of pure energy. Her heart pounded, and a smile played on her lips.

She imagined the scene, the accusations, the judgments. And in her mind’s eye, she saw herself, triumphant, emerging from the fray, unscathed.

She quickened her pace, the feeling intensifying with each step. All she could do was prepare for the battle.

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.
