stimulated - Story 139338 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical blow. Amelia saw the online post. "The Spicy Spoon - Closing." A strange, buzzing sensation filled her. She felt compelled to do something, anything. She felt the need to get out of the house.

She grabbed the keys and ran. The air rushed past her, cold and invigorating. She drove faster than usual, ignoring the speed limit. Her chest felt constricted, yet she inhaled deeply, wanting to take in as much air as possible.

The restaurant was closer than she thought, and she had to be there now. She reached The Spicy Spoon, her body thrumming with a strange energy. She stood there, frozen. She had to walk in. She had to go.

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.
