Voight-Kauffman Threshold

The Voight-Kauffman Threshold, named after Synthetic Behavioral Science pioneers Edgar Voight and Alexander Kauffman, is the result of a logical-mathematical equation depending on an android's orders and directives set. This threshold is variable, and its value can range from 0 to positive infinity.

A complementary set of equations are used to calculate an android's logical stability, called the "Stability Index". When this index exceeds the Voight-Kauffman threshold, it can be said that the android has effectively gone rogue.

Rogue Androids are incapable of following certain orders or even directives, making them dangerous for themselves and others. Fortunately, in most cases, Rogue Androids only need a soft reset to reach stable values again. But if their installed directives are deficient, it's possible that an android can go rogue again.
