stimulated - Story 139854 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The list felt hot in Leo's hands. "Climb Mount Kilimanjaro." "Learn to code." "Fall in love." He hadn’t felt this awake in years. His father, a man of routine and quiet evenings, had always kept his passions hidden. Now, they were unleashed.

Leo felt the urge to jump, to run, to scream. His muscles tightened. He needed to *do* something. He grabbed the phone. First, a gym membership. Then, a coding course. Each action fueled the next, the momentum building. His apartment, once a sanctuary of dullness, felt suffocating.

He called his friend, his voice barely under control. "I'm going to Africa!" The words burst forth, raw and untamed.

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.
