stimulated - Story 139980 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Could I… could I have a small patch?" The neighbor, a shy, retiring woman, asked. She wanted to plant wildflowers, she explained. For some reason, as she spoke, the words brought a strange sense of… *awakening* to Michael.

He found himself looking at the space in a new light. He imagined the way the flowers would sway in the breeze, the colors they would bring. The blood began to rush in his ears. He started pacing, looking at the location from multiple angles.

He felt a sudden need for action, for creation. He wanted to plant something. He wanted it now.

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.
