stimulated - Story 139413 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lottery ticket felt rough and papery between his fingers, but the sensation was somehow intense. Michael stared at it, the numbers swimming before his eyes. It was a winning ticket – a very winning ticket, clutched in the same wallet he’d just found in the park. His palms began to sweat.

He gripped the park bench, his knuckles white. The mundane world of squirrels and children seemed suddenly distant, unreal. He glanced around, certain everyone could see the prize burning a hole in his pocket. He took a deep, shaky breath, trying to calm the racing thoughts in his head.

His whole being was tingling. He had to go, needed to do something, anything, to release this pressure building inside him. The world was a different place now.

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.
