stimulated - Story 139769 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A wave of… something… washed over her. It wasn’t sadness, not exactly. More like a vibrant hum, a sudden heightening of every sense. The air tasted metallic. The world felt too close, too real.

She was drawn to the stump, compelled to touch it. Her fingertips traced the rough grain, feeling every jagged edge. She closed her eyes.

Images flooded her mind: the sun dappling through the leaves, the feel of the earth under her bare feet. She took a deep breath, and she felt a powerful urge. She had to fix this.

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.
