stimulated - Story 139930 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flashing lights and pounding music of the nightclub felt like a physical blow. The music seemed to seep into every cell. He couldn't keep still, barely able to control himself. He watched the others dance, but nothing felt real.

He felt the prickle of anticipation in his neck, the electricity. He felt the need to make contact with someone, the need to find something solid.

He saw her, her eyes were glazed over, her body undulating to the beat. A shared, wordless understanding passed between them. It was a kind of madness.

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.
