stimulated - Story 139688 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The soft glow of the stage lights, the hush of the audience, the sheer anticipation – these were the feelings that filled Sarah. She'd been a dancer. Now, her daughter, Lily, was the one taking center stage.

Sarah watched Lily during rehearsal. Lily's body moved with grace and precision. She was lost in the music, her expression a mix of focus and joy. Her small frame was a blur of motion. Sarah’s own feet began to tap. The music swelled, and Lily’s movements became even more intense. Sarah caught her breath, feeling a thrill she hadn't anticipated.

“Again!” Lily shouted, her voice filled with energy.

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.
