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.

That question explains the silence better than any metric ever will. Not “Is this interesting?”Not “Is this smart?”Not “Is this aligned with current thinking?” But this: If we engage this, what does it obligate us to? That is the question people ask when something stops being content and starts behaving like a position. Most modern…
Humans Need a Governor—Not a Translator Something subtle is happening online, and most people feel it before they understand it. You open a page.You read a thread.You scroll through a discussion. And there’s a strange sensation:This wasn’t written for me. Not hostile.Not deceptive.Just… alien. The words are fluent.The arguments are confident.The references are dense. But…
When people talk about “slowing down AI,” most of the conversation turns emotional fast. It becomes fear versus progress.Jobs versus innovation.People versus machines. That framing is wrong—and it guarantees bad outcomes. What’s actually needed right now is not opposition. It’s governance that matches human limits. That means lawmakers doing fewer dramatic things and more boring,…
Every December, Silicon Valley releases its annual prophecy list the trends, the breakthroughs, the next frontier. This year’s batch is impressive: Multimodal data tamed.Agent-native infrastructure.Cybersecurity automation.World-model storytelling.Vertical “multiplayer mode.”AI-native universities.Personalized everything. The engineering is strong.The vision is sweeping.And yet something foundational is missing. Not a feature.Not a model.Not a new optimization layer. What’s missing is…
Every headline tells you what happened.Almost none tell you why it matters. This week, the world watched two of the largest AI institutions panic in real time as their footing slipped under them. They framed it as competition. They framed it as innovation pressure. They framed it as market tension between giants. But the truth…
The Faust Baseline™Purchasing Page – Intelligent People Assume Nothing micvicfaust@intelligent-people.org I was raised around people who cared how a thing was made. Not because anyone was watching.Not because there was a bonus for it.But because turning out sloppy work was something you carried with you. You didn’t need a meeting about it.You didn’t need a…
