stimulated - Story 139845 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The music was a physical force, a tangible pressure pushing against him. His heart hammered a counterpoint to the relentless beat. Every muscle in his body felt alive, taut, ready. He was ready.

"I’m warning you!" The neighbor's voice, raspy and exasperated, filtered through the pounding sound. He paid him no mind, lost in the song’s intricate patterns.

He felt the sudden need to create, to express, to unleash the torrent of feeling. He grabbed the nearest sheet of paper and a pen, and the music started to translate into scribbles and lines.

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.
