stimulated - Story 139406 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Well, this is a mess," sighed Oliver. His sister, Emily, nodded in agreement, running a hand through her hair. The dim light seemed to amplify the dust and shadows. Oliver felt a curious lightness in his chest, a sort of giddy anticipation.

He wandered into the dining room, his gaze sweeping over the long mahogany table, the heavy chandelier, the ornate china cabinet. It was all so… much. But instead of being overwhelmed, he found himself filled with an unexpected eagerness.

He pulled open the china cabinet. His hands trembled slightly as he ran his fingers over the delicate porcelain. He felt a sudden urge to rearrange everything, to organize, to categorize. He wanted to sort, to polish, to transform this cluttered space into something beautiful. He smiled, a genuine, delighted smile.

"This is going to be fun," he said to himself, a low chuckle escaping his lips.

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.
