stimulated - Story 139597 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It had been a dream, and now it was shattered. The email, the crisp, professional language, felt like an insult. He clenched his fists, knuckles white, a burning sensation starting in his gut and spreading outwards.

He stalked across the room, unable to settle, each movement jerky and abrupt. His eyes darted around, searching for something, anything, to ground him. He felt like his skin was too tight.

He kicked a small side table, sending it clattering to the floor. The sound, the impact, didn't provide the relief he sought. The unrest within him continued to grow.

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.
