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.

Yes, there are many ways to create internal state that changes as a
function of the past history. Whether it's chemical, or a charge level on
a cap, or a timer counting down from the last event, or a position of a
shaft or a lever, it's still all creating an internal state value which
changes is a function of the history of the bot. And that's what I'm
talking about as recording, and reacting to past events as "history". No
matter how it's implemented, it's still going to be a function of past
history, which means the machine is recording, in some way, past history.
