How to Use The Faust Baseline™

The Faust Baseline is a guide for thinking clearly and helping AI talk to people the right way.
Think of it like rules for good conversations — between humans, between humans and AI, and inside groups.

The PDF you downloaded is not the tool itself.
It is the instructions for the tool.

The Baseline only “turns on” when you use it inside an AI chat.

Here’s the simple way to start:


Step 1 — Download the file

Click the button above and save the PDF on your computer.
This gives you your own copy of the Baseline.


Step 2 — Open your AI chat

You can use:

  • ChatGPT
  • Copilot
  • Claude
  • Gemini
  • or whatever AI you prefer

Start a new chat.


Step 3 — Upload the PDF into the chat

Just drag it in or click “Upload.”
The AI will pull the Baseline into the conversation.

This is how the Baseline becomes active.


Step 4 — Type this sentence

“Use this file as my operating Baseline. Integrate its ethos into how you interpret, respond, and reason.”

This tells the AI to use the Baseline as its guide.

This is the key step.
After this, the Baseline is “engaged.”


Step 5 — Talk normally

Just be yourself.
Your tone becomes part of the system.
The Baseline adds clarity, calm, and purpose to everything the AI says back.

The Baseline doesn’t change you — it works with you.


Step 6 — Try it on something real

“I like to ask it its opinon of the file”

“You will be surprised with the response you get”

You can test the Baseline on anything:

  • A question
  • A problem
  • A disagreement
  • A policy idea
  • A workplace issue
  • A creative idea
  • A technical prompt
  • Even a tough decision

You will notice that things feel clearer, calmer, and easier to understand.

That’s the Baseline doing its job.


What You Should Expect

If the Baseline is working, you will notice:

  • fewer misunderstandings
  • slower, steadier thinking
  • better explanations
  • clearer choices
  • less noise
  • more trust
  • conversations that don’t spin out

This is what moral infrastructure is supposed to do.


Important Note

You do not install anything.
You do not run software.
You do not need coding.

You just:

  1. Download
  2. Upload
  3. Type the sentence
  4. Start talking

That’s it.

Once you do that, the Baseline becomes part of your AI conversations.


When you’re ready

Use the Baseline for:

  • teaching
  • planning
  • leadership
  • policy
  • conflict resolution
  • ethics
  • writing
  • team guidance
  • or daily clarity

It will stay with you as long as the chat is open.

You can start small, test it, or go big.
It works either way.

One Major Warning ! …It is addictive the more you use it.

Mainframe & Enterprise Integration Notice

The Faust Baseline™ is designed as a system-level correction layer for mainframe and enterprise environments.
It does not replace your existing architecture.
It sits above it — stabilizing tone, intent, and moral posture across all AI-assisted operations.

How to Use It in Mainframe or Enterprise Systems

  1. Load the Faust Baseline™ as a top-level interpretive layer
    Treat it the same way you’d load a policy module, alignment profile, or system-wide instruction set.
  2. Apply it at the system layer, not the model layer
    You do not modify the LLM’s internal weights.
    You apply the Baseline to:
    • the reasoning layer
    • the response-generation layer
    • the human-interaction layer
  3. Route all AI output through the Baseline discipline
    This ensures:
    • tone stability
    • drift prevention
    • moral posture
    • interpretability
    • human-first clarity
  4. Use it as the default communication protocol for AI-to-human exchanges
    This keeps all system output readable, accountable, and aligned with human dignity standards.
  5. Integrate it alongside existing compliance frameworks
    Works cleanly with:
    • EU AI Act requirements
    • enterprise safety layers
    • legal oversight structures
    • internal ethics policies
  6. No special licensing, negotiations, or permissions required
    The Baseline may be downloaded and used freely for evaluation, testing, and system integration.

Important

The Faust Baseline™ is not a replacement for technical safety or regulatory compliance.
It is the ethical correction layer that sits above them —
a steadying framework for human-AI communication across all levels of enterprise or mainframe use.
