stimulated - Story 139809 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He had just received the DNA test results. A half-brother. The information made him feel an intense buzz, as if his senses were heightened. He felt a deep, almost primal, urge to see this brother.

He immediately called his mother, his voice a low, urgent murmur. “Tell me everything,” he demanded. He walked back and forth, unable to settle.

The wait for her to answer, for her to reveal the details, was excruciating. He felt a surge of anticipation, a nervous energy that kept him shifting from foot to foot.

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.
