stimulated - Story 139364 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Well, now, isn't that nice?" she mumbled to herself, holding the card aloft. The paper felt unusually rough against her fingertips. She’d always loved the way the postman put the mail into the box, gently, but this card had landed with an audible *thwack*.

She had a lot to do today, but the card seemed to have put a damper on her plans. Who was thinking of her? She needed to know. The urge to *know* nearly took over.

She ran her fingers over the card, feeling the smooth paper. She dropped everything and poured herself a coffee. She began pacing, back and forth, considering who it could be. She took a sip of the coffee, letting it cool on her tongue. It was so hot.

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.
