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.

Fifteen hours on, the nurse finally sat down in the break room and couldn't remember if she'd eaten. Her shoes felt like they were made of concrete. The vending machine was out of the thing she wanted and she stared at it for too long before choosing something else she didn't want either. Everything in the hallway sounded like it was coming from the bottom of a pool. She drank the bad coffee. She thought about the drive home and couldn't picture the route in her head for a second, even though she'd driven it a thousand times. She stood up because sitting was going to break her.
