stimulated - Story 139363 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The plain white envelope. He saw it and his pulse skipped a beat. A birthday card, unsigned. His stomach fluttered. He needed to know.

He slammed the door, ignoring the pang of guilt he felt for the noise. The silence in his apartment was almost deafening. His mind spun. He needed a distraction, something to occupy the sudden, restless energy coursing through him.

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.
