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 had meant to write the thank-you card for a week and every time she sat down to do it the words got too big. The woman had covered her shift three times — three times! — during the worst month, without being asked, and had also been the one who showed up with soup and didn't stay too long. She didn't know how to make a card small enough to say this without being a whole speech. In the end she wrote just a few lines and then, before she could overthink it, licked the envelope and walked it to the mailbox before the feeling could shrink.
