stimulated - Story 139358 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air itself felt thick with anticipation. David shoved open the hatch. A vibrant heat spread through his core. He had a sudden and powerful urge to explore every nook and cranny of this forgotten space.

A dusty collection of musical instruments was tucked away in a corner. He ran his hand over the worn wood of a violin, feeling the vibrations in his fingertips. An uncontrollable energy surged through him.

He felt an insistent need to play, to create, to fill the attic with music. He saw his hands reaching for an old guitar. He felt like he could do anything.

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.
