stimulated - Story 139398 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee shop buzzed with chatter. Maya, a writer, sought a quiet escape. She picked up a copy of “Pride and Prejudice” from a used book sale and opened it. A small, folded photograph fell out from the pages.

She picked it up. A young couple smiled at the camera, their expressions full of joy. Maya’s lips parted. She wanted to know the story. The photograph made her feel restless.

She wanted to discover the mystery. She had to learn the context. She sat and stared at the photograph, and imagined their life. She wanted to know their secrets. She felt compelled to know more.

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.
