stimulated - Story 139972 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A bead of sweat trickled down Amelia's temple as Mr. Henderson, his face as weathered as an old oak, knocked on her door. “Just a little space,” he boomed, gesturing towards her meticulously manicured lawn. He wanted to plant a sunflower patch, he explained. Amelia’s hands clenched into fists, her heart began to beat wildly.

She found herself walking, pacing the length of her yard, her gaze darting from one spot to another. The air buzzed. "Right here," she blurted, pointing to a patch of grass. She already saw the sunflowers, tall, swaying, a vibrant contrast to the green.

The image in her mind became so intense, her muscles ached. She felt a burning in her cheeks. She was suddenly consumed with the need to measure and plan.

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.
