stimulated - Story 139997 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news hit him while he was in the middle of a math assignment. His essay on the beauty of mathematical proofs was going to be published. He found himself tapping his foot, unable to concentrate. The numbers on the screen swam before his eyes. He felt a sudden, urgent need to *create*, to solve.

He abandoned the homework. He pulled out a fresh sheet of paper and began doodling. Then, he decided on a new approach to a mathematical theorem, filling the page with a dizzying array of numbers, diagrams, and equations, his focus completely consumed.

Emotion: stimulated

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.
