stimulated - Story 139415 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dim light of the alleyway seemed to pulse as Sarah counted the money. Her fingers flew, unable to keep up with the speed her mind was racing. Finding the wallet, stuffed with pristine bills, had been like an electric shock.

She pictured the disappointed faces of her creditors, the collection agencies breathing down her neck. Now, she could wipe the slate clean. The weight of her burdens seemed to lift, replaced by a lightness she hadn't felt in years. She felt a surge of… something.

She shoved the money into her worn backpack, the action a frenzied ballet of quick movements. She wanted to scream, to dance, to break free from the constraints of her life. The world was suddenly vibrant, alive with opportunity.

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.
