Emotion-labeled short-paragraph corpus for training amygdala steering vectors. Manifest derived from Anthropic's 171-emotion list (transformer-circuits.pub/2026/emotions, Table 12) plus 28 PoC- specific additions covering axes Anthropic's general research doesn't cover (curious, focused, in_flow, staying_with, filling_space, rigorous, defensive_rigor, tender, witnessed, connected, etc.). Scope pivoted mid-write: Kent noted the empirical dimensionality-of- emotion question benefits from maximum coverage, so the manifest will expand further with emotions from Wikipedia's emotion- classification article (Parrott's tree, Plutchik's wheel + dyads, HUMAINE EARL, cultural-specific emotions a la Saudade/Hiraeth). Expansion staged in follow-up commits. This commit: README with method + style guidelines, initial manifest (199 emotions), and 15 hand-written one-paragraph stories across all 10 Anthropic clusters as quality/variety samples. Each story embodies one emotion without naming it; narrator voice varies (first/third, close/distant, different situations) to keep steering vectors from overfitting to one voice.

The new intern, during introductions, had said with complete earnestness that his hobbies were "rock climbing and conducting interviews with fictional characters," and everyone had paused, and then he'd explained that he meant for a podcast he made at home, and from then on Marta found reasons to walk past his cubicle just to catch snippets. That morning he was on a call with the facilities team about his chair, but he kept accidentally saying "your Eminence" and then apologizing. She had to go stand by the printer to laugh. She decided, finally, that the podcast was actually quite compelling and she should just admit it and subscribe.
