stimulated - Story 139807 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news arrived in a frantic phone call from his aunt. A half-sister. A girl named Chloe, who lived a few states away. He felt a jolt, a current that ran through him like wildfire.

He slammed his hand against the desk, then immediately regretted it. His knuckles ached. He needed to get out of the house. He grabbed his keys, then paused, a smile tugging at his lips.

He would go for a drive, a long one. He needed to clear his head, and feel the road beneath his wheels. The world felt bigger, more expansive. He needed the open space.

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.
