stimulated - Story 139577 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The concert hall buzzed with anticipation, the air thick with the promise of music. She scanned the crowd, her heart hammering against her ribs, searching for *him*. She found him near the bar, looking almost unchanged. Her breath caught.

“Remember the band contest?” she asked, her voice cracking with the attempt to sound calm. She felt her face flush, the blood rushing through her veins like a surging tide. The question was a gamble, a desperate plea for connection.

He gave her a blank stare. "Band contest? I'm afraid I don't." She felt the ground shift beneath her feet. The music started, the first chords crashing over her like a tidal wave, but all she felt was the need to run.

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.
