stimulated - Story 139224 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The attic was a labyrinth of forgotten things, a repository of years. Michael, flashlight beam cutting through the gloom, located the cardboard box behind a stack of dusty holiday decorations. Inside, nestled beneath tissue paper, were his mother’s old schoolbooks and assignments.

He pulled out a composition book, flipping through the pages. The handwriting was neat, the stories imaginative. His jaw relaxed, and his eyes widened as he discovered a science project about space. The diagrams were intricate, the writing crisp.

He was lost in the details. He leaned in closer to see better. The air in the attic seemed to vibrate with a current of excitement as he continued to delve into his mother's past.

Emotion: stimulated

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.
