stimulated - Story 139266 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“No way,” I whispered, staring at the list. My heart was a frantic drum against my ribs. It felt like I was going to explode. The air in the locker room felt thick, oppressive. My hands trembled as I reached for my gear, needing to rip the jersey off, to shed this suffocating disappointment.

I stalked through the deserted hallway, kicking at an empty water bottle. The sting of the plastic against my foot was a small release, a tangible outlet for the storm raging inside. I would prove them wrong. This wasn't the end. It was the beginning of something… else.

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.
