stimulated - Story 139964 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He found it tucked away in the back of the junk drawer. “Visit the Grand Canyon.” Okay, he could see that. “Learn to speak Italian.” That was a bit ambitious. But then he saw it: "Ride a motorcycle." A flush crept up his neck. His wife, Emily, had always been the cautious one, the rule-follower.

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.
