stimulated - Story 139686 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The scent of baking bread, once a source of comfort for Clara, now felt somehow more intense. Her mother had baked every Sunday. Her daughter, seven-year-old Iris, was the new baker in town. Clara watched Iris, her face dusted with flour, kneading dough with surprising strength.

"That's it, Iris! Keep going!" Clara couldn't help but want to participate.

Iris glanced up, a grin splitting her face. She plunged her fists into the dough, her small arms working rhythmically. Flour flew, dusting her hair and clothes. Clara felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to do something, anything, besides watching.

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.
