stimulated - Story 139650 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was staring at the exit, a grimace on his face, a knot in his stomach. The news had shattered his world. This wasn’t fair. He wanted to shout. He wanted to scream.

And then, a different sensation began to creep in. A thrill. This was a chance, maybe a last chance, to take control.

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.
