stimulated - Story 139244 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer across the table was droning on about liability, about the legal ramifications of the error. Sarah, however, found her attention drifting. Her fingers tapped a nervous tattoo on the polished surface of the table. A surge, powerful and unfamiliar, surged through her. Her medical history, previously so private, was now intertwined with someone else's.

She wanted to know everything. The other patient’s name. Their address. Their health. She wanted to know if this was a similar story to hers, the reasons why this happened, why their data was mixed.

The lawyer finished speaking, and Sarah jumped. "What can *I* do?" she asked, her voice sharp, demanding. A thrill ran through her veins, a thrilling need to understand the situation.

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.
