stimulated - Story 139829 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The scent of hot metal and ozone filled the air. Jake had been lost in the forge all day, pouring every ounce of himself into the intricate design. It was finally taking shape, a monument to his creative fire.

A woman approached, a sketchbook clutched in her hand. She pointed to his nearly complete work. He looked at her sketchbook, the same designs, the same notes.

He felt the familiar urge to create more, to change, to dominate.

"You too?" she asked, a smile playing on her lips.

He nodded, a sense of electric kinship passing between them. He felt a need.

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.
