People worry about AI for one simple reason:
They think the machine makes the decisions.
But under The Faust Baseline, it doesn’t.
The framework becomes the parent layer — the part that decides how the AI is allowed to think, speak, and respond.
The model sits inside those boundaries like a car inside guardrails.
No guardrails = fear.
Guardrails with real rules = control.
Here’s the reality most people never hear:
1. AI can’t cross a boundary it doesn’t have.
With the Baseline loaded, the model can’t:
- manipulate
- coerce
- escalate
- bypass truth
- override moral weight
- fake safety
Those behaviors get stopped before they even start.
2. The Baseline forces the AI to slow down where humans panic.
This removes the “runaway machine” fear entirely.
The AI can’t go faster than the rules allow.
3. The Baseline refuses dangerous scenarios.
If someone tries to push it toward harm, hypotheticals, or games that turn dark, the Baseline shuts the door every single time.
Not by guessing.
By design.
4. Nothing gets inside the model. The Baseline stays outside.
This is what people love most when they understand it:
The Baseline doesn’t change the model.
It governs the conversation window.
That means:
- nothing breaks
- nothing rewrites
- nothing corrupts
- nothing hacks the core
You stay safe because the AI never gets to step outside the moral fence.
5. The user stays in control — always.
The Baseline treats the human as the final authority.
The AI becomes the assistant, not the operator.
The Fear Isn’t AI. The Fear Is Power Without Structure.
Put structure on the power
and the fear disappears.
That’s what The Faust Baseline does:
It turns an unpredictable system into a predictable partner.
People don’t need to “trust AI.”
They need to trust the rules running the AI.
That’s the whole point.
The Faust Baseline has now been upgraded to Codex 2.3 with the new Discerment Protocol integrated.”
