stimulated - Story 139194 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Ms. Abernathy?” Daniel’s voice cracked slightly. He hadn’t thought about her in decades. She hadn't changed at all. The same sharp gaze, the same crisp voice, the same… everything.

His daughter, Chloe, beamed at the teacher. He watched them interact and felt a pull in his chest.

He started driving Chloe to school every day, a routine he usually delegated. He lingered in the hallways, catching glimpses of Ms. Abernathy.

That weekend, he went to the library. He checked out books he hadn't touched since he was a teenager. The quiet, the smell of paper, the possibilities… he felt a deep internal stirring.

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.
