stimulated - Story 139808 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer’s words hung in the air: “Your father had another family.” Emily felt an icy shock followed by an almost opposite sensation, a warmth spreading through her limbs. A sister, named Grace.

She went to the window, watching the rain streak down the glass. Her mind raced, a whirlwind of thoughts and possibilities. She felt a lightness, a buoyant feeling she hadn’t experienced in years.

She had to know more. She turned away from the window, grabbing her purse and coat. She knew where to start. Her gut told her.

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.
