stimulated - Story 139304 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He felt a buzz in his ears, a strange lightness in his limbs. David hadn't expected it. The discovery of Emily's starting salary had him practically vibrating. He sat rigidly, his hands clenched into fists, staring blankly at his computer screen. The room felt suddenly small, the air too thin.

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.
