stimulated - Story 139169 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Liam noticed him. The realization felt like a punch to the gut. He felt the blood rush to his face. The room seemed to tilt. An electric charge seemed to run across his skin.

He wanted to be cool, nonchalant. But his hands were shaking as he reached for a canape. He took a bite but tasted nothing. It was hard to keep from staring. He had to escape the feeling that had wrapped itself around him.

He made his way to the bathroom, and ran cold water over his wrists.

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.
