stimulated - Story 139696 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So," Janice said, forcing a casual tone, "what are you doing for lunch?" Her words seemed to bounce in the small, cramped office. She couldn’t stop fidgeting with her pen. The promotion decision was supposed to be made after lunch.

Across the room, Kevin, her colleague, shrugged noncommittally. The competition between them, always present, had become thick with a charged feeling.

Janice felt a surge of energy, a frantic need to occupy herself. She decided to go to the shop to buy a new notebook to take notes during lunch.

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.
