stimulated - Story 139801 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email shimmered on Clara’s phone screen. A lawyer. Regarding her father's estate. And a name she didn't recognize: Liam. Her fingers tapped a restless tattoo against the kitchen counter. Her heart drummed a frantic rhythm against her ribs.

She scrolled down, the legalese blurring. Liam was her half-brother. Her breath hitched. The world seemed to sharpen, colors becoming impossibly vibrant. She grabbed her keys, a sudden, urgent need to *move*.

The drive to the lawyer’s office was a blur of flashing lights and blurred scenery. Her palms were slick on the steering wheel. She felt a lightness in her chest, a giddy anticipation she 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.
