stimulated - Story 139561 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The invitation crackled in Amelia's hand. Liam's party. Laser tag, pizza, the works. Across town, Maya was throwing a silent disco. Amelia tapped her foot, the repetitive thrumming echoing the frantic beat in her chest. Everything felt charged, electric. She glanced at the clock – 3:17 PM. The world seemed too bright, the sounds of the street too amplified.

“I don’t know, Mom,” she mumbled, her voice tight. "Laser tag… or a silent disco… it’s, uh…" She trailed off, unable to articulate the whirlwind of possibilities swirling within her.

Her mother’s voice was a distant murmur as Amelia ran to her room. She needed space, a quiet moment, some sort of control. She grabbed her art supplies, ripping through the plastic wrap as though it were made of tissue paper. Colors exploded on the paper as she rapidly scribbled and drew.

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.
