stimulated - Story 139766 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence pressed down, heavy and suffocating. A strange jitteriness buzzed beneath his skin, making it hard to stand still. He paced the perimeter where the tree had been, his steps quick and uneven.

He felt a need to lash out, to punish someone for this act of destruction. He wanted to scream at the sky, to vent the frustration that was now a burning coal in his chest.

He picked up a stone and threw it with all his might, watching it disappear into the bushes. He felt a fleeting moment of release, but the tightness in his chest remained.

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.
