stimulated - Story 139638 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The garage was a haven of forgotten memories, a repository of the past. Michael, hunched over a cluttered workbench, was searching for a missing tool. His fingers, calloused and rough, brushed against an envelope tucked into an old toolbox. It was a letter, his own handwriting from a more rebellious past.

He pulled it out, a grin playing on his lips. The letter was a scathing critique of his high school principal, filled with youthful indignation. He leaned back against the workbench, his chest swelling with a long-forgotten defiance. He felt a rising heat, a current of energy surging through him. He tapped his foot against the concrete floor, a low rumble of amusement escaping his lips. He started, abruptly, to whistle a jaunty tune.

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.
