stimulated - Story 139599 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email sat on the screen, taunting, mocking. A tingling sensation spread through her, starting at her fingertips and working its way up her arms. She felt like she was buzzing.

She rose from her chair, and began to pace, her steps quick and restless. The walls of her apartment seemed to close in around her. The air felt thick, heavy.

She grabbed her phone and started scrolling through social media, looking for a distraction, a way to channel the energy that threatened to overwhelm her. The vibrant colors and fleeting images provided no relief.

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.
