stimulated - Story 139977 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The proposal from the elderly Mr. Olsen, wanting to bring back a piece of the old country, filled Maya with a sudden rush of something akin to energy. He wanted to grow beets, carrots, and potatoes, echoing the practices of his youth. Maya felt her heart race as she listened, visualizing the bounty.

She found herself shifting from foot to foot, the blood pumping in her veins. Her fingertips began to tingle. "Of course, yes!" she nearly shouted, her voice tight with a feeling she couldn't place.

She felt a deep desire to participate, to nurture, to *build*. She felt a compulsion to plan, to organize. She needed to *see* it.

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.
