stimulated - Story 139628 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sight of the notification sent a jolt of something through Ava. It was Mr. Peterson, her math teacher, who had sent a request to follow her on Facebook. It made her pulse race. She looked down at her hands and was aware of their shape and position.

She abruptly stood. She felt like she had to do something. She needed to move. She started walking back and forth in her room, a nervous energy bubbling beneath the surface. She felt a lightness, an almost breathless quality to the air around her.

She found herself checking her profile picture. Then she started looking at her feed. Then she went through her friends list. She felt a sudden urge to be active, to engage, to be seen.

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.
