stimulated - Story 139564 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The pounding music at Finn’s party was deafening, but it did not drown out the incessant buzzing inside Leo. He felt a constant tension in his muscles, a need to bounce and fidget. He glanced across the room to see who else was there. Sarah’s low-key game night was happening at the same time, but it felt miles away.

He grabbed a handful of chips from the snack table, stuffing them into his mouth without tasting them.

He needed something more. He caught Finn's eye and grinned. The bass dropped. The party was moving too slow. He had a sudden urge to go find a new party.

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.
