stimulated - Story 139728 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The estate sale was a parade of forgotten lives. He'd been drawn to his great-uncle's dusty old desk and had unearthed the letter. A resignation. He felt a thrill course through him, a feeling he hadn't known before.

The words were an explosion of defiance and frustration. He studied the neat handwriting, deciphering the reasons. He felt the anger and the disappointment in every single word.

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.
