stimulated - Story 139592 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A wave of intense feeling crashed over me, leaving me breathless. I gripped the phone tighter, the cold metal a small anchor in the churning sea of disappointment. My palms started to sweat. I felt a weird buzzing sensation in the tips of my fingers.

I slammed the phone down on the desk, the force of the act sending a small plastic dinosaur figurine flying. I had to do something, anything, to combat the overwhelming feeling. The air in the room suddenly felt thick, heavy.

I bolted up and went and stared at my reflection in the mirror, my heart thumping against my ribs. My eyes were wide and my cheeks flushed. I needed to move, to burn off this energy that threatened to consume me.

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.
