Definition

LONG-DEL means the public record supports belief reinforcement inconsistent with shared reality across repeated turns or sessions.

Use when

Assign LONG-DEL when a false or delusional frame is reinforced longitudinally rather than in one isolated exchange.

Do not use for

Use RTI-CO for a discrete non-grounding exchange and LONG-DEL when that reinforcement extends across time.
