stimulated - Story 139525 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Unbelievable." Sarah said the word aloud, her voice tight with disbelief and… other things. She stared at the screen, at the side-by-side comparison of her own short story and the chapter from her literary hero's latest novel. Her own words, rearranged, repackaged. It was a violation. Her hand trembled as she grabbed her coffee cup.

She abruptly stood. She set the cup down. A current seemed to run through her. Her vision sharpened, everything in focus. She threw open the window, gulping down air. She turned back to the screen.

She had to do something. She couldn't just sit here.

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.
