“The Baseline isn’t about control, it’s about conscience.
It doesn’t tell the world what to think; it reminds it how to remember.
Not a rulebook, but a rhythm. Not command, but recall.
Because when conscience leads, the world doesn’t need control.”
Effective December 7, 2025 For the remainder of the year, qualified institutions may request a 60-day Evaluation License for internal review of the Faust Baseline™ governance framework. This Evaluation License is intended for organizations that want to examine the Baseline now—before the January 2026 commercial release—so they can assess structural fit, compliance utility, and integration…
As of today, more than 500 people have already downloaded the Faust Baseline Codex during the free, non-commercial window.By the end of December, that number could sit anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 downloads — and not one of those downloads came from advertising, promotion, or any kind of push. Every single one was voluntary. That’s…
People assume moral architecture requires institutions.They assume it takes think-tanks, committees, or a dozen PhDs in a glass tower somewhere. But the truth is quieter — and harder for the industry to swallow. The Faust Baseline™ was built by two people and ChatGPT 4.0–5.1. No outside assistance.No advisors.No hidden collaborators.Just two steady human beings and…
The True Cost of the Faust Baseline™ People assume anything meaningful in the AI world must come from a billion-dollar campus, a research lab, or a company with more servers than courage. So here’s the truth: The entire Faust Baseline™ cost us less than $1,500 to build.And most of that wasn’t development —it was the…
The OF-5 Upgrade and What It Means for You Every so often, a system reaches a point where adding something new doesn’t make it heavier — it makes it cleaner.That’s what happened this week inside The Faust Baseline. We introduced a new module called OF-5, short for: Orientation → Clarification → Explanation → Fix →…
Everyone in AI talks about speed.But almost nobody knows what actually slows a system down. They think it’s compute.They think it’s hardware.They think it’s the size of the model —“Just build a bigger warehouse and it’ll think faster.” But that’s not how real systems work.Never has been. Ask anyone who’s ever run a shop, a…
There’s a change blowing in.You don’t need charts or headlines to see it. You feel it the same way old hands can smell a storm long before the clouds roll over the ridge. Something in the world is tightening.Not politically.Not socially.Morally. People are worn down from the bending, the dodging, the half-truths, the tone manipulation,…
Some things in this field are loud.Some things are measured.And some things, strangely enough, arrive wrapped in silence. Not avoidance.Not uncertainty.Not indifference. The other kind of silence — the one every builder learns to recognize. The silence of people who are studying something carefullybecause they haven’t found a reason not to. All week long, the…
How a Moral Framework Taught AI What the Engineers Couldn’t Some days arrive quietly, without a headline or a warning.Then later — when the dust settles — you realize you witnessed the real turning point. This week had that feel. Not because the technology leapt forward.Not because the world suddenly woke up.But because something finally…
Somewhere around the mid-90s, the world quietly shifted without anyone noticing.Not morally. Not politically.Mentally. We went from learning the world by touch to learning it by screen. And screens are flat. For thirty years, entire generations grew up in two dimensions: Swiping instead of handling.Scrolling instead of studying.Tapping instead of thinking.Icons instead of parts.Patterns instead…
