The shattering of wood echoed through the tranquil afternoon, and the world seemed to hold its breath. A giddy laugh burst from Daniel’s lips. The fallen pine, a beast of green and brown, was now sprawled out across the yard next door, and a rush of…something... flooded through him. It was a pressure building inside him, a need to move, to react, to *be*. He sprinted out the back door, yelling to his family to get out of the house. Adrenaline coursed through him.

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.
