stimulated - Story 139974 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The unexpected request from the quiet recluse next door, Mr. Evans, caught Sarah completely off guard. He wanted to grow herbs, he explained in a barely audible whisper. Sarah, a woman of routine, found herself strangely drawn to the idea. A wave of heat flushed through her as she listened.

She immediately imagined the scent of basil and rosemary filling the air. She pictured the way the herbs would thrive, drawing energy from the earth. The thought made her feel… *something*. She found herself picking up a small pebble from the ground, turning it over and over in her hand.

Her voice had become quicker, brighter. "I think that would be just lovely!" she declared, the words tumbling out. She felt a need to assist immediately.

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.
