stimulated - Story 139543 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Oh my God," Maya whispered, her breath catching in her throat. The phone felt suddenly heavy in her hand. Her daughter, Chloe, was a straight-A student, a choir singer, a girl who seemed to have her life perfectly planned out. This profile… this was something else entirely. Photos of Chloe in daring outfits, flirting with the camera.

A warmth spread through her, a tingling that started in her toes and crept up her legs. She felt a lightness, a bizarre sense of power. The world around her seemed to sharpen. She leaned closer, her eyes scanning the comments, the likes, the private messages. The more she read, the more exhilarated she felt.

She imagined herself telling someone, anyone, about this. Her hand trembled as she double-tapped on a picture. It wasn't disgust. It wasn't even anger. It was something else entirely, something unfamiliar and electric.

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.
