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 told him about the night six years ago, the one she had never told anybody, and her voice was steady but something in her throat was not. He didn't do the thing people do — the reframe, the there-there, the quick comfort — he just kept his eyes on her face and nodded, once, when the hard part landed. When she finished she was quiet for a moment. And then something in her released that she hadn't known was holding. Not because he had fixed anything. Because somebody else now knew the shape, and she wasn't carrying it by herself anymore. The loop that had been open for six years, closed, just from that.
