suspicious - Story 145896 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the "D" in his Computer Science class. It seemed to pulse on the screen, a malicious taunt. He had dedicated all his free time to coding. He’d helped classmates. He understood algorithms better than most.

He replayed the final exam in his head. The questions were the same as the practice ones. A strange wave of nausea washed over him as he considered the situation. The professor, Dr. Lee, had recently announced a new research project. Jason had wanted to be a part of it, but had been told that there was no room.

His gaze flicked around the computer lab. It suddenly felt like a surveillance room, every keystroke monitored. He rubbed his eyes, trying to clear his head, but the image of Dr. Lee's face, his smile, his words, seemed distorted now.

Role in Research

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