stimulated - Story 139248 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clinic’s sterile environment seemed to amplify the internal tumult. The doctor had delivered the news, a clinical assessment of a disastrous mix-up. Her medical information had been confused with another patient. A wave of heat spread through her, starting at her core and radiating outward. Her eyes darted around the room.

She couldn't help but picture the other patient, the person who now shared her medical history. It was a jumble of emotions: curiosity, a strange sense of ownership, and something else she couldn’t quite define. She wanted to touch everything. She wanted to run.

She leaned forward, her voice a little higher than usual. “Can you… can you tell me more about this person?” she asked, the question bubbling out of her.

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.
