stimulated - Story 139265 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coach’s words – "You're not quite there yet" – echoed in Amelia's head. A wave of heat flushed her cheeks. She felt an urgent need to escape, to be alone, to process this… *thing* that was surging through her. She didn't want to talk, she didn't want to explain, she just wanted to *go*.

She immediately marched to the track. Her breaths were shallow and fast and she could feel the blood pounding in her ears as she ran. She ran until her legs were leaden, until her lungs were screaming, until the world narrowed to nothing but the rhythmic pounding of her feet on the track.

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.
