stimulated - Story 139440 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He watched the play, a familiar story unfolding on the stage. The plot, the dialogue, were his, stolen and now being celebrated. A vibrant electricity coursed through him, making his skin tingle. His hands clenched into fists, the feeling building inside.

He felt like a tightly wound spring, ready to release. He had poured his heart and soul into that story. He felt as if his very breath had quickened. He wanted to jump to his feet, shout out the truth.

He swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain seated. His jaw ached from clenching. He felt a deep surge of something, and the world seemed to shimmer around him.

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.
