stimulated - Story 139790 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The photograph of the front door, the one with the chipped paint, slammed into Robert. His childhood home. For sale. A jolt, like static electricity, ran through him. He hadn't thought of it for years. Now, it was… there.

He sat straighter, his eyes glued to the screen. He saw his old bedroom, the living room and the backyard. His past pulsed behind the images, and the past was suddenly real. His chest expanded.

He would visit today. He would drive there immediately. He had to see. He had to feel. He had to experience. It. He didn't know why, but he had to.

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.
