stimulated - Story 139349 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She’d been feeling hollow, empty. The world had lost its color. Then, she saw him: Barnaby, her childhood bear, his fur matted and his one eye missing. A jolt went through her, a wave of energy that vibrated in her bones.

Her hands shook as she paid for him. She couldn't quite meet the seller's eye. She felt a lightness, an urge to… to sing, to dance, to simply *be*. She clutched Barnaby to her chest, feeling a thrill she hadn't experienced in years.

The world seemed to explode with color. She smiled, a wide, genuine smile. She had to get home. She had to hold him. She had 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.
