stimulated - Story 139730 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He held the letter, his fingers tracing the delicate script. His grandmother’s resignation, a secret he never knew. A sudden and unexpected wave of…something... washed over him.

As he read, he was transported. He felt the weight of her struggles, the fire of her determination. The emotions spilled from the page. He felt so connected to the unknown woman.

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.
