stimulated - Story 139565 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air crackled with anticipation. "Karaoke?" asked the email. "Or Bowling?". The mere thought of having to commit to one, or the other, sent a thrill down his spine. Mark stared at the two messages on his phone. He couldn't choose.

His eyes darted around the room. He felt a need to pace. He picked up his guitar, running his fingers across the strings, the sound loud and harsh, before putting it down again.

He could feel the blood rushing to his head. He had to make a decision, he had to, right now.

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.
