stimulated - Story 139198 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Mr. Evans!” Sarah gasped. It couldn't be. The history teacher, who had been stern, and who she remembered as being old... was still here.

Her son, Noah, gave a wave and smiled. She watched him walk away with a curious sensation.

Later, she found herself digging through old boxes in the attic, finding artifacts of her own past. A tattered diary, old concert tickets, photos.

She reorganized her office. She started a new project at work. She felt a magnetic pull forward.

She went for a long run, her thoughts buzzing. She felt invigorated, electrified.

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.
