stimulated - Story 139267 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like an electric shock. The announcement caused a jolt in David, followed by a sudden need to be the center of attention. He laughed nervously, trying to make light of the situation, but the sound felt hollow even to him. His foot tapped incessantly, and his eyes darted from face to face.

He found himself making impulsive decisions, agreeing to do anything, to go anywhere. He blurted out promises he couldn't keep, his voice rising with an unnatural pitch. This all came out as a reaction to how he felt. The rush of his emotions were too much.

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.
