stimulated - Story 139888 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sight of Mr. Sterling, who constantly complained about his plumbing bills, exiting a private jet left Leo feeling a profound discombobulation. He started and his jaw dropped. His muscles tensed.

He felt a compelling pull, a need to know. He started to walk, but then stopped, before starting again. His thoughts raced at a hundred miles an hour.

The revelation was like a jolt, a physical shock. He was suddenly aware of every sound, every smell, every detail of the world around him. This was exhilarating.

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.
