Public Disclosure

This website includes formal public disclosures under United States patent law in support of novelty and inventorship. All methods, systems, structures, and protocols described here—whether narrative, conceptual, or architectural—are protected by one or more pending U.S. patent applications. This includes, but is not limited to, semantic agents, slope-based identity models, policy-enforced mutation systems, entropy-resolved content anchoring, and cognition-native execution substrates.

These provisional applications and disclosures are publicly timestamped and may support constructive reduction to practice. Any attempt to design around, implement, or derive functionality from the disclosed systems in ways that rely on their structural claims may constitute willful infringement once patents are granted.

Licensing

No license is granted or implied for the use, reproduction, implementation, derivation, or integration of any part of the described architecture without prior written permission. Commercial, academic, or government entities seeking to evaluate or interface with the Adaptive Query™ platform must do so under a formal licensing agreement.

For licensing terms and contact information, visit the Licensing page.

Trademarks

Adaptive Query™ is a trademark of Nick Clark and is the subject of a pending U.S. federal registration. AQ™, Adaptive Index™, and Adaptive Network™ are used as trademarks in connection with the Adaptive Query platform.

The platform also uses a specialized vocabulary. These terms are defined in the Lexicon. Inclusion in the lexicon does not imply trademark registration.
