Where “The Faust Baseline” Fits In
People everywhere want stronger AI regulation.
They’re not wrong — but here’s the truth:
You can’t regulate AI from the outside.
Not effectively.
Not at the scale we’re heading into.
You can regulate companies.
You can regulate behaviors.
You can regulate outcomes.
But the mind of the machine — how it interprets you, how it holds the line, how it keeps composure when a person pushes it — all of that happens inside the reasoning layer.
That’s the part no law can reach.
And that’s the part the Faust Baseline was built for.
What regulation provides
Regulation can set:
- limits
- requirements
- penalties
- transparency standards
Good, needed, overdue.
But those are external constraints — the rules posted on the wall.
What the Faust Baseline provides
The Faust Baseline is an internal constraint.
It handles what laws can’t reach:
- tone control
- safety without censorship
- truth discipline
- emotional composure
- refusal of manipulation
- moral clarity
It gives the AI a spine — the thing the law can’t install.
Think of it this way:
Regulation tells the machine what it must not do.
The Baseline teaches the machine how it should behave.
One without the other fails.
Together?
That’s the first real blueprint for safe governance in the AI age.
Why this matters right now
The public wants AI regulation.
Governments want enforceability.
And companies want a system that doesn’t break under pressure.
The Faust Baseline sits between all three —
the only layer that meets each requirement without rewriting model weights or interfering with training.
It’s the first and only approach that:
- works across models
- works instantly
- doesn’t alter the AI
- doesn’t require government access to private code
- stays neutral
That’s why it’s gaining quiet traction.
People don’t just want AI regulated.
They want it to behave like someone who can hold a conversation without losing its mind or its morals.
That’s what the Baseline delivers.
“Peace of mind and governance begin with a structured AI ethos — not wishful thinking — and that ethos only works when it’s implemented inside the AI framework itself.”.
“The Faust Baseline has now been upgraded to Codex 2.3 with the new Discerment Protocol integrated.”
