trapped - Story 153939 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tulips, a rainbow of colors, were placed on the dining room table. The house was empty. She felt the heavy silence, broken only by the ticking of the clock. Her gaze flitted around the room, settling on the closed doors.

She walked to the window and looked outside. The world was going on without her. She could feel her heartbeat in her ears, a drumbeat of panic. She picked up a tulip, fingering the smooth petal, and squeezed it in her hand.

Role in Research

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