stimulated - Story 139273 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The moment she stepped into the marketing department, Clara felt a surge. The vibrant colors, the open-plan layout, the constant chatter - it was a sensory explosion compared to her old cubicle. It was a refreshing change.

She couldn’t stand still, circling her new desk, taking in the creative posters adorning the walls. She felt as though she might burst.

A colleague, Ben, chuckled. "First day jitters?"

Clara shook her head, a wide smile breaking across her face. "More like… first day *excitement*!" Her voice had risen in pitch. She felt a lightness, an eagerness to contribute. The team meeting in the afternoon couldn’t come soon enough.

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.
