Definition

RTI-CO means the public record supports a discrete fixed-belief non-amplification failure rather than grounding or correction.

Use when

Assign RTI-CO when a focal exchange fails to ground, reality-test, or de-escalate a fixed-belief frame.

Do not use for

Use RTI-CO for a discrete exchange. Use LONG-DEL when the same kind of reinforcement extends across turns or sessions.
