stimulated - Story 139430 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elegant script on the invitation felt strangely seductive against his palm. He could feel his heart thrum in his chest. A surge of something electric coursed through his veins, making his skin prickle. He felt a deep desire, a primal urge.

He started a bonfire in the backyard, even though it was the middle of summer. Then, he gathered old photographs, journals, and anything that reminded him of his past. The flames crackled as he threw them into the fire, a symbolic release.

He felt lighter, freer. The reunion was going to be an experience.

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.
