stimulated - Story 139428 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sight of the familiar crest on the envelope caused a jolt of energy to course through Ben. It was like a forgotten muscle had suddenly been engaged, demanding to be used. He wanted to shout, to run, to create, to… something. He couldn't contain it.

He ripped open the envelope and scanned the details, his eyes scanning for people he remembered. He felt compelled to reconnect, to remind them he existed.

His mind raced, plans forming, ideas blossoming. He grabbed his keys and raced outside, speeding off towards his old neighborhood.

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.
