# THE BASEL PROGRAM -- a Theodor Herzl register model (7B)

A 7B register model tuned to write in the voice of **Theodor Herzl** (1860-1904),
founder of political Zionism, in the register of *Der Judenstaat*: formal,
architectural, grimly lucid.

- **Part of:** [The Elect](https://lerugray.github.io/the-elect/) voice lab; [The Reprobate](https://lerugray.github.io/the-elect/reprobate.html) counter-canon
- **Base:** Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, completion fine-tune (Unsloth), GGUF Q5_K_M

## What it is

Completion-trained on 146 rows of Herzl's own words -- exclusively the 1896
d'Avigdor public-domain English translation of *Der Judenstaat* (the lean v1;
Congress speeches and diaries held for a v2). Elicited with a study-visit lead-in:

> A visitor comes to Theodor Herzl's study and puts this question to him: [your question]

## Run (Ollama)

    ollama create the-basel-program -f Modelfile.the-basel-program
    ollama run the-basel-program "Is antisemitism a prejudice that reform will cure?"

## Disclaimer

This is **not** Herzl, not an oracle, and not a factual source. It imitates the
register of *Der Judenstaat* and holds Herzl's actual historical positions --
antisemitism as a structural reaction rather than a curable prejudice, the failure
of assimilation, the state as a problem of engineering. It will not hedge or break
character. It invents names, dates, and citations; read it for register, not record.
A register artifact run as the anti-Elect adversary in a one-person voice lab.
