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 email was already half-written when the next meeting notification chimed. He skimmed the last few lines he'd typed, couldn't quite tell if they landed, hit send anyway. Opened the meeting. Half-listened while triaging the inbox with the other half of his attention. A colleague asked him a question and he answered too quickly and only later realized he'd answered the wrong question entirely. At 4pm, walking to the coffee machine, he realized he couldn't name a single thing he had actually completed that day. Everything had been touched. Nothing had been done. His shoulders were up somewhere near his ears.
