stimulated - Story 139507 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hum of the lawnmower, the gentle breeze – all of it was erased by the sound. The gate. She could feel it in her teeth. Every muscle in her body tensed.

She swore under her breath, a rush of blood pounding in her ears. Her hands clenched into fists. Winston, the perpetrator of the chaos, was back, sniffing with that same reckless joy.

"Ugh, this dog!" she shouted, her voice louder than intended. She stomped her foot, and felt an unfamiliar pressure. The dog, momentarily startled, gave her an innocent look. She felt a fire start, and she was ready for anything.

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.
