stimulated - Story 139184 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The ocean breeze that whipped through her hair felt electric against her skin. Evelyn watched as her husband, Thomas, emerged from the beach house, his face flushed and animated. He had been on the phone, a low murmur of a conversation carried away by the wind. She wanted to know more. The salt air seemed to amplify the hammering in her chest. Every muscle in her body seemed primed, ready. She was filled with a potent, unfamiliar energy. She wanted to chase him, to demand answers, to pull him in close and find out everything.

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.
