stimulated - Story 139287 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The request was from someone named Trent. Liam almost dropped his phone. Trent from middle school. Liam’s mind flashed back to the day Trent had gotten him in trouble and Liam had been suspended from school. Now Trent was there, staring back at him.

He was surprised by the sudden, intense heat that flushed his face. He felt a strange tingling in his fingers. Liam found himself pacing the living room, heart racing, his mind flooded with old memories and unanswered questions.

He pictured the way Trent had always smirked, always knowing he had the upper hand. He picked up his phone again. He needed to know what Trent wanted. He wanted to know, wanted it desperately.

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.
