Drives

Overview

In following figure an overview of the drive cyclus is given.

Drive Generation

We distinguish between sexual and self preservation drives. Self preservation drives are connected to signals from body parts. Sexual drives are powered by the libido.

Sexual Drives

There is a buffer for each drive component of each sexual drive. The buffer works like a tank (see picture below). The generated libido stream is divided and defines the inflow of each tank. These division is based on the personality parameters. We use the signals from the erogenous zones to reduce the tank level. The level of the tank defines the strength of the corresponding drive.

Self Preservation Drives

As mentioned above the self preservation drives correspond to an input from a body sensor(e.g. the heigh of the blood sugar correspond to the stomach drive). Like the sexual drives they also use a buffer system. The inflow of the buffer is defined by the sensor input, the personality parameters and the signals from the erogenous zones.

Drive satisfaction

To satisfy the drive we either use direct feedback from the body or we satisfy the drive throw the visual perception of the action.

Body Feedback

For actions with direct effect on the body we detect these effect as a change of the values of the internal body sensors.(e.g. the action eat changes the blood sugar value).

Satisfaction of complex drives

To detect the execution of complex actions(with no direct effect on the body) we us the visual perception. Each action executor stores the action as a part of his own entity. The vision sensor detects his own body as entity with the included action. So it is possible to attach the perceived action to the self object.

The module F45 uses the self object with the attached action to satisfy (depending on the memory) the corresponding drive.
