stimulated - Story 139346 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He felt a sudden jolt, a current of electricity zapping through his veins. There, amidst a pile of discarded trinkets, sat Barnaby, his childhood companion, his old friend, his precious teddy bear.

His mouth went dry. His breath quickened. He felt the urge to… to laugh, to shout, to simply *do*. The seller, a bored teenager, quoted a price. He paid without hesitation, his eyes locked on the bear.

He practically leaped away from the yard sale, clutching Barnaby close. The world was alive with possibilities. He felt a sudden, desperate urge to… to create, to connect, to feel. He couldn't wait to get home. He had so many things to do, so much to feel.

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.
