stimulated - Story 139235 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The article, “A Teen’s Confessions: Now Available Online,” felt like a slap in the face. It contained her name, her town, a link to her “unpublished work.” A burning sensation started in her stomach. Her pulse was racing.

She slammed her laptop closed, then reopened it, fighting the urge to look. She was shaking, her hands clammy. She needed to know. She typed the URL, her fingers trembling. Her eyes scanned the page.

Her teenage self’s voice filled the room. She felt a kind of exhilaration, as if the world had suddenly become sharper, brighter. She paced her room, the floorboards creaking under her rapid footsteps. She was alive, intensely, completely.

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.
