stimulated - Story 139303 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee tasted like ash in Maya's mouth. She reread the offer letter. Hers. Then, the casual, off-hand comment from Liam about his compensation package. She felt a prickling heat behind her eyes. Anger? Jealousy? Both? She needed to escape this confined space. She pushed away from her desk, the movement almost violent, and stalked towards the kitchen. The hum of the coffee machine felt grating against her nerves. She slammed the cup down, grabbed her bag, and headed for the parking lot, the asphalt reflecting the relentless sun.

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.
