stimulated - Story 139414 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Whoa," Mark breathed, staring at the wad of cash. The wallet, abandoned on the bus seat, felt heavy in his hands. He'd been struggling to pay for groceries this week; he'd been down and out for a while.

He gripped the money, a crazy feeling rising. His eyes darted around the empty bus. He felt like he could take on the world. He pictured the new rims for his car, the kind he'd always dreamed of.

He laughed, a sudden, almost hysterical sound. The possibilities, the choices, they all felt so *vivid*. His heart pounded in his chest, a drumbeat of exhilaration. This was… unexpected.

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.
