stimulated - Story 139652 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He ran a hand through his hair, dislodging a few stray strands. The air in the gallery was thick, almost electric, with the buzz of the opening night. He’d been admiring the bold brushstrokes of the featured artist, his pulse quickening with each new canvas. A text popped up: a photo, a cheeky caption. His fingers fumbled as he hastily typed a reply meant for the artist’s assistant, Sarah. He wanted to compliment her work too, but the words felt too explicit. He hit the wrong contact: his father.

He felt the blood drain from his face. "Wow Dad, this is intense," he typed, adding a winking emoji. He held his breath. His father's response: "Glad you think so, son."

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.
