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.

There was a week in August when the cabin was perfect — not in any dramatic way, just the way a few days in a life will sometimes settle into a shape that doesn't need anything added or subtracted. Coffee on the porch. The lake doing whatever lakes do, unobserved, while he read. A book he'd been meaning to get to for years. Evenings so long he forgot to check the time. He thought once, on the fifth morning, that he ought to be a little bored by now, and he waited for the boredom patiently and it did not come. When he drove home on Sunday he drove slow.
