stimulated - Story 139764 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world seemed to sharpen, colors blooming with an unexpected intensity. It was as if someone had turned up the volume on life. He stared at the vacant space where the oak had stood, a hollow ache in his chest.

He felt the sudden urge to grab the chain saw and hunt down whoever did this to it. His fists clenched and unclenched, his muscles tightening and twitching in a spasm. He could feel heat radiating from his skin.

He wanted to scream. Instead, he forced a shallow breath, trying to regain control. His gaze darted around, looking for something to do, something to break.

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.
