Operational Coding of Recursive State-Transitions: The Recursive Identity Stabilization Encoding (RISE-CM) Spec v1.1

The Recursive Identity Stabilization Encoding (RISE) change mechanism provides a granular, process-oriented framework for identifying and measuring state-transitions within psychotherapy. While existing models focus on thematic content, RISE-CM operationalizes the timing and sequence of narrative reorganization. This specification defines the four-stage transition cycle and provides Observable Coding Markers (OCMs) for transcript analysis and a novel Taxonomy of Transition Failures (F-Modes) to identify clinical stagnation.
