Stimuli are the primary means of triggering vocalizations. The vocalizer responds to two different types of stimuli:
Emotional stimuli
Electrocution/overload stimuli
When the vocalizer receives an emotional stimulus, the emotional AI processes the input and the grammatical AI vocalizes an appropriate response for R2's current emotional state.
Each possible emotional stimulus correlates to one of the emotional AI's four , and can be either mild or extreme in severity. Therefore, there are 8 (4x2) possible emotional stimuli.
When the vocalizer receives an electrocution/overload stimulus, the emotional AI processes the input as a combination of anger, sadness, and fear stimuli, and the grammatical AI vocalizes a special overload response.
