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.

She read the email standing up. Then read it again. Then called Marcus without sitting down, pacing the kitchen in a tight rectangle, the dog watching her from the doorway. "They took it. They took the paper. Editor's comments are — I can fix those in a week." Her voice was pitched half a step higher than normal and she couldn't seem to slow it down. Marcus was saying congratulations and she was already on the next thought, the next, the next — three years of rejections and then this, this, this, and she realized she'd been in a T-shirt and pajama pants and she wanted to put on real clothes for no reason at all except that it felt like the kind of day that deserved them.
