stimulated - Story 139619 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He felt a sudden, inexplicable charge, a current running through his veins. The formal setting felt stifling. He fidgeted, his fingers drumming a frantic rhythm on the table. He couldn’t wait to speak.

As he walked towards the podium, he felt like he was moving at twice the speed of everyone else. He started his speech, but he quickly disregarded his notes. Instead, he launched into a string of impressions, mimicking his father’s gruff voice and his mother's lilting laugh.

He found himself laughing at his own jokes, his energy infectious. He couldn't stop. He wanted to go on and on, to celebrate his parents, to celebrate life, to express the intensity of his feeling. He was electric.

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.
