stuck - Story 142828 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The presentation was finished. Finally. The end result of months of research and late nights. The feeling of anticipation was almost overwhelming. Until the meeting.

As he was in the middle of his presentation, a colleague interrupted, explaining that the project was too familiar. He was confused. The colleague presented a document. The same data, the same diagrams, the same conclusions. His face went white.

He felt the blood drain from his face and the room spin around him.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion stuck. 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 stuck stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the stuck emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
