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 kid — eight years old — put the chessboard back together and then asked if they could do the problem again because he wanted to try the knight sacrifice. The chess coach watched him set it up. Two weeks ago this child had not known how a knight moved. The coach asked a question, watched him think about it, watched him find the answer, and found himself not quite able to respond right away. Something had opened up in the kid and it was opening faster than anybody was ready for. The coach said "yes, let's do that one" in a neutral voice, but his hands were doing a small involuntary thing.
