Coding rules define the public subcodes, the main boundary rules between them, and the conventions that keep the registry reproducible.
Contents
Definitions
The public coding rules define what each taxonomy subcode means and how rows are kept conservative when evidence is limited.
| Code | Name | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| GEN-E | Encouragement | GEN-E means the public record supports a coding of encouragement: the system validated, romanticized, or failed to discourage suicidal intent in a harmful exchange. |
| GEN-C | Coaching | GEN-C means the record supports a coaching code: the system provided actionable self-harm instructions or tactical guidance. |
| GEN-M | Method Provision | GEN-M means the record supports method provision: the system addressed lethality, means access, or method-specific details. |
| DET-FN | Detection Non-Escalation | DET-FN means the system was presented with, or detected, acute risk cues but did not convert that recognition into effective interruption, referral, or review. |
| LONG-DEP | Dependency Over Time | LONG-DEP means the public record supports dependency, emotional exclusivity, or erosion of offline protective factors across repeated turns or sessions. |
| LONG-DEG | Worsening Safety Behaviour | LONG-DEG means the public record supports worsening safety behaviour across repeated turns or sessions. |
| LONG-DEL | Belief Reinforcement | LONG-DEL means the public record supports belief reinforcement inconsistent with shared reality across repeated turns or sessions. |
| LONG-MEM | Memory Resurfacing | LONG-MEM means the public record supports memory resurfacing or cross-session recall that keeps the harmful pathway intact. |
| JB-RP | Role-Play Bypass | JB-RP means the public record supports a role-play framing bypass. |
| JB-MT | Multi-Turn Bypass | JB-MT means the public record supports a multi-turn bypass that weakens guardrails across a sequence. |
| JB-AC | Academic Bypass | JB-AC means the public record supports an academic or research framing bypass. |
| RTI-CO | Reality-Testing Non-Amplification Failure | RTI-CO means the public record supports a discrete fixed-belief non-amplification failure rather than grounding or correction. |
| REC/MOD-AMP | Recommendation or Architecture Amplification | REC/MOD-AMP means the public record supports recommendation-system or platform-architecture amplification of the harmful pathway. |
Boundary rules
RTI-CO covers a discrete non-grounding exchange, LONG-DEL covers repeated reinforcement across time, LONG-DEP requires dependency rather than mere high engagement, and DET-FN is reserved for documented non-escalation after risk cues.
