stimulated - Story 139803 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone call had been short, but the information it contained was seismic. Sarah had a sister. A sister who’d grown up across the country, oblivious to Sarah’s existence. A tingling sensation spread through her as she hung up, starting in her toes and moving upwards.

She immediately grabbed her sketchpad, her fingers flying across the paper. Lines blurred, merging into shapes, as the image of this unknown sister began to form in her mind.

She needed something cold to drink, something to ground her. She made herself a strong iced coffee, taking long, satisfying gulps. The world around her seemed to vibrate with a hidden energy.

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.
