stimulated - Story 139294 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He'd been practically buzzing with it. The build-up. The expectation. He'd envisioned himself at the centre, basking in the glow of affection, the energy of the crowd. Now, the cancellation hit him. He grabbed his coat, the fabric suddenly feeling heavy, suffocating. His heart thumped a frantic rhythm.

He needed movement, something to displace the volatile energy that coursed through him. He was a tightly wound spring, suddenly released, and snapping back. He stormed out of his flat, wanting to yell, wanting to break something, anything to externalize the disquiet inside.

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.
