stimulated - Story 139164 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The soft lighting of the ballroom did little to soften the impact of seeing him. John had forgotten how *good* she looked. His pulse quickened. He felt a surge of… something. A potent cocktail of attraction and regret. He needed to avoid eye contact, but found himself unable to tear his gaze away.

He reached for another canapé, his hand shaking slightly. The taste of the food was lost on him. He felt strangely restless, as if he needed to be in motion, to burn off some of the energy that had suddenly flooded him.

He excused himself to the restroom, splashing cold water on his face, trying to regain control. The mirror reflected a man on the edge.

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.
