stimulated - Story 139991 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email shimmered on her phone. “Congratulations! Your essay has been selected for publication…” Sarah’s pulse quickened. She nearly dropped the device. Her cheeks felt hot, a blush blooming across her skin. Years ago, she'd poured her heart into that essay about rescuing a stray dog. Now, she was reading it again, the words leaping off the screen, each sentence a tiny spark.

She immediately grabbed her car keys. No time to make coffee. The air outside felt charged. She had to *do* something. She gunned the engine and peeled out of her driveway, adrenaline coursing through her. She needed to buy flowers, she decided. A big bouquet. And perhaps… a new dress?

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.
