stimulated - Story 139322 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The biting words of the review, "flavorless and frankly, boring," seemed to vibrate in Maya's head. She crumpled the newspaper, the sound a tiny explosion in the quiet apartment. Her hands were fidgety; she couldn’t stand still. She surged with adrenaline. She needed to *move*. She grabbed her keys, ignoring the half-eaten bowl of cereal on the table. The city beckoned, promising a release. She imagined the rush of the wind on her face, the blur of passing faces, the endless possibilities.

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.
