stimulated - Story 139785 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Wow," whispered Daniel, leaning closer to the computer screen. The house. His house. A photograph of the overgrown garden and the rusting swing set hit him with a powerful wave of… something. He hadn't realized how much he’d missed it.

He sat forward, his gaze fixed on the images. He could practically feel the rough texture of the brick on the side of the house under his fingertips. He leaned further into the screen.

He slammed his fist against the desk, a sudden, explosive action he didn’t realize he was going to make. He knew he had to go. He needed to see it, to walk through those rooms again, to try and recapture something he couldn't name.

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.
