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.

He'd noticed the blue sedan three times in four days. First the grocery store, then again on the way back from his dentist, then parked two doors down when he pulled into his own driveway. Different license plates each time, which was arguably the point. He kept the phone on the kitchen counter now instead of carrying it. The new neighbors were "from Delaware" but neither of them had a Delaware accent. He'd started checking the basement window each night. He knew how it sounded. But sometimes the simplest explanation wasn't the correct one, and there were patterns he was the only person in a position to see.
