stimulated - Story 139347 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon light cast a golden hue on the scene, but to Sarah, everything was suddenly sharper, more vibrant. There, amid a jumble of mismatched toys and forgotten games, was her childhood companion, Mr. Wiggles.

Her heart hammered against her ribs. She couldn't breathe. Everything inside of her seemed to… to churn, to bubble. She wanted to scream, she wanted to laugh, she just wanted to *feel*.

She paid the woman, hardly noticing the price. As she clutched Mr. Wiggles tightly, the world dissolved around her. She couldn’t wait to be alone with him, to relive the memories, to let go. The drive home felt like flying.

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.
