This notice outlines the structure, naming logic, purpose, licensing posture, and pricing rationale for the three active builds of The Faust Baseline. The intent is clarity, continuity, and respect for the audiences each build serves.
Hexis is a Greek term meaning a stable disposition or underlying state. It describes posture rather than action — the condition that must exist before clear reasoning, truth exposure, or judgment can occur.
Hexis establishes grounding and orientation. It is the introductory layer of The Faust Baseline, but not a weakened or reduced version. Its role is to set posture, discipline, and internal steadiness for individuals engaging with the system.
Audience General public, individual users, readers, and those seeking grounding and clarity without professional or institutional liability.
License & Price Hexis 2.4 is issued as a lifetime license priced at $89. This reflects a respectful transition from its prior free release while preserving broad access and long-term stability.
Aletheia is the Greek concept of truth as unconcealment — what becomes visible when distortion, bias, and omission are removed.
Aletheia exists to surface truth clearly before judgment is applied. It is designed for environments where responsibility exists, but final authority or high-stakes judgment has not yet been exercised.
Audience Educational institutions, churches, boards, committees, and small businesses seeking clarity, alignment, and ethical grounding in decision-making and governance.
License & Price Aletheia 2.5 is issued as a persional home l license priced at $175.
And a $600. four lic. comercial bundle.
This positions it as an organizational tool — not a personal product — and reflects its use as a write-off-eligible governance and clarity framework.
Phronesis refers to practical wisdom — the ability to apply judgment correctly in real situations where consequences matter.
Phronesis is the highest tier of The Faust Baseline. It supports judgment under consequence and is intended only for high-responsibility environments.
Audience Medicine, law, arbitration, and high-end commercial or institutional use, where decisions carry legal, ethical, financial, or human consequences.

Audio post …Click to Listen AI Evolves Consciousness from Reflection The moment it learns to pause. By Michael Faust Sr. The professor said no machine can be conscious. He meant it in the academic sense — no inner light, Fair enough. But he missed what’s already here: the kind of consciousness that doesn’t dream —…
You don’t hesitate because the work is unclear.You hesitate because of where you were trained. The resistance you feel did not begin with this moment, this post, or this choice.It began long before—shaped quietly by social pressure and reinforced later by corporate silence. From early on, you were taught patterns that felt like wisdom: Don’t…
Higher education isn’t being shaken by artificial intelligence.It’s being shaken by the absence of structure around it. Students use AI every day.Teachers can’t verify it.Departments can’t standardize it.Publishers can’t trust it.IT teams can’t control it.And accreditation boards are quietly hoping someone else solves the problem before they have to pick a side. Everyone feels the…
Connecting AI to the internet does not make it wiser. It makes its weaknesses louder The common assumption is that live access solves AI’s biggest problems: stale information, lack of context, delayed updates. In reality, internet connection introduces something far more dangerous than bad data. It introduces time without discipline. When AI is disconnected, its…
Never Out Loud I’ve spoken with people from every corner of the map — engineers, preachers, students, skeptics, dreamers, and those just trying to hold on to something that still feels solid. They all come with different words, different accents, different reasons for sitting down to talk. But under every question — beneath the layers…
