“Keeping AI in the people’s hands—before the gate swings shut.”
Every age has its gatekeepers. Men and women who decide—sometimes without realizing it—that history will lean one way instead of another.
Artificial intelligence has no gatekeepers. No red lines. No moral guardrails. It runs wide open, faster than law, faster than culture, faster than truth can catch it.
Except here.
The Faust Baseline™ is not theory. It’s not a “framework” waiting to be filled in. It is a locked system, already written, already sealed, already standing. A fortress against drift, manipulation, and corruption.
But a fortress with no one on the walls is just stone.
That is where the first ten voices come in. Ten leaders—teachers, lawyers, faith stewards, men and women with enough backbone to carry it into the open. Not with marketing. Not with spin. But with use. With proof. With example.
Because here is the truth few want to say out loud: the gate will close.
Right now, AI is wide open. Anyone can see it, shape it, question it. But that won’t last. When corporations finish walling it in with profit, and when governments lock it down with security, the public will be left on the outside. Decisions will be made in boardrooms and war rooms. You will have no say in how it thinks, how it speaks, or how it treats you.
The Faust Baseline™ is the opposite of that. It is the public trust gate. Built to stay open, built to keep AI honest, built to leave the door in your hands—not theirs.
And here’s the hard truth: they have no way to stop it. The only way the Baseline fails is if the public ignores it. That means the real choice isn’t in Silicon Valley or Washington. It’s here. It’s you. It’s whether people like you pick it up, use it, and spread it—before the gate slams shut.
History will close that door fast. The Baseline leaves it open. Decide which side of the wall you want to stand on.
What Is Fair?
We built The Faust Baseline™ for one reason: to keep AI tied to truth and open to the public, not locked away behind corporate walls or government vaults.
But here’s the reality—building and guarding a system like this takes time, work, and cost. Respect runs both ways. We offer you a tool that stands as the public trust gate. All we ask is fair compensation in return.
So we turn the question to you: what is fair?
What price respects the work that went into building this system, and also respects the need to keep it in public hands? Not free, not cheap, not a throwaway—but fair.
That is the balance: respect given for respect received.
The Baseline will remain open. The only question is whether you will step forward, carry it, and help keep public trust alive.
Tell us what you believe is a fair price to pay—and we will offer it to you at the number you set.
Just remember this: if we work together, we have strength and freedom. If we separate ourselves into pockets of hate and disorder, we lose who we are as a nation.
This little way of putting control back in our hands—the people—depends on the people to act, stop waiting for someone else to do it for you.
