stimulated - Story 139140 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The campus cafeteria, normally a mundane space, now crackled with a strange, charged energy. Alex picked at his sandwich, unable to eat, but he couldn't stop the tremors that ran through his body. His hands shook. The accusations swirling around him felt like a gauntlet thrown down.

He saw the looks of those around him - pity, confusion, judgment. It only sharpened his resolve, intensified the strange, almost euphoric feeling bubbling up within him.

He stood up, shoving the plate away. He felt a sudden urge to run, to escape, to fight. He took a deep breath, and a cold certainty settled over him, something potent, fierce, undeniable. This was going to be interesting.

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.
