stimulated - Story 139704 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the copy room was stale and close. He watched her across the room, the way her hair caught the light as she wrestled with the jammed paper tray. The memory of Camp Silverwood—the same camp!—was almost overwhelming. It was a memory that suddenly felt urgent and important, a vibrant flash of warmth in the cool, clinical office. He felt the blood begin to rush in his head.

"You went to Silverwood?" he asked, his voice sounding odd to his own ears. He felt a strange compulsion to help her, to reach out, to touch.

She nodded, turning to him, and in that moment, he felt a strange, new energy, a sudden intensity. The smell of ink and paper felt like an intoxicant. “Yeah, I did. Crazy, right?” She smiled and she seemed to glow. He took a long breath.

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.
