stimulated - Story 139602 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He’d always known his grandfather, Arthur, as a quiet, unassuming accountant. The family legend: a man of numbers, a life lived in black and white. Now, delving into the trunk, a different reality shimmered into focus. Michael ran a finger across a photograph, the paper thin and brittle.

His grandfather, young and vibrant, leaning against a gleaming Packard, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Michael felt a jolt. This was not the Arthur he knew. His pulse quickened. He imagined stories of fast cars and clandestine meetings.

He went to find a drink. The ice felt cold, pleasant, but he wanted more. He pulled out the photo of his grandfather. This time he felt like tearing it into pieces and rebuilding a new story. He didn't know which would be true.

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.
