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.

I read the text three times before I understood it. He had done it. After every conversation. After the specific conversation where I had said the specific words. He had done it anyway. I stood up too fast and my chair hit the wall. My hands were shaking, which annoyed me further because shaking hands are the hands of somebody too rattled to do anything useful, and I was not rattled, I was something much cleaner than that. I picked up the phone and put it down again because the message I wanted to send would have cost me the last scrap of ground I was standing on. I walked three times around the kitchen trying to get small enough to sit back down.
