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.

Third Saturday in a row. The apartment was fine — clean, warm, a show playing that he wasn't watching. He had messaged three people earlier and none had replied, which was nobody's fault, Saturdays were Saturdays, but the quiet in the apartment had a specific shape. It wasn't peaceful quiet. It was the kind that sounded like everyone else was somewhere else, together. He thought about putting on real clothes and going to a bar alone, and the thought of being at a bar alone was worse than the apartment, so he didn't. He ate leftover rice standing up and told himself he'd go to bed early.
