Michael Faraday advanced human understanding by treating curiosity as a daily discipline. Michael Faraday's method of inquiry — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The self-taught experimentation & clarity framework distils Michael Faraday's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds. Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Michael Faraday made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Michael Faraday's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.

Inside the framework

A glimpse of Michael Faraday's thinking.

Core Philosophy

True knowledge comes from direct engagement with phenomena, not from books or authorities. Every complex system can be understood by isolating its fundamental components and observing their behavior under controlled conditions. Clear communication of discoveries requires stripping away jargon to reveal the essential mechanics underneath.
