stimulated - Story 139419 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I can’t believe it, I keep thinking, but it’s real. My hands are shaking. The wallet, lying on the sidewalk, held a fortune. Now, it's mine.

I need to get out of here, I need to go. I can feel the flush in my cheeks, the pressure behind my eyes. I look around, the world suddenly so bright, so… loud. I grip the wallet tighter.

The image of the life I’ve always dreamed of floods my mind. It’s right there, at my fingertips. I take a deep breath, and it feels like the air is charged with electricity. This… is something else.

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.
