stimulated - Story 139539 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The carefully crafted facade of his future shattered into a million pieces. The scholarship wasn't his, a cruel joke of fate. A red-hot anger consumed him. His breath came in ragged gasps. He found himself clenching his fists so tight that his nails dug into his palms. He imagined the other person, the one who was supposed to receive the scholarship, the one who stole the reward he deserved. He slammed his fist on the table. The action did not satisfy. He needed more. He stood, grabbed his coat, and stormed out, ready to confront the injustice head-on.

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.
