Except of course, you have to keep some type of historic information to
know when to trigger panic mode. :)

Maybe, maybe not... It's done with chemicals in biologics, and I imagine
maybe a rising voltage in a robot. There's a threshhold where the
mechanism would implicitly understand it can't take any more
chemical/voltage without sustaining damage or overload, so there's no
need to "program" this level in. It's how much to increase the voltage
for each particular type of event that's the tricky part, and could
coceivably vary from individual to individual, as it does for biologics.
Whether this is hard-wired (born-in evolution), learned (which *could*
involve a history of some type), or from sensory data alone could be a
matter of specific design.
