Nick Clark
Inventor of Adaptive Query™, a cognition-native execution platform built to redefine how systems remember, reason, plan, and evolve—ethically and at scale.
Based in Vermont, US
Background
I’m a systems-level generalist with deep cross-disciplinary interests. I began building websites in sixth grade on a library computer and never stopped exploring how systems work—or break. My approach has always been rooted in disassembly: understanding how the parts make the whole, especially in psychology, sociology, and cultural pattern formation.
I developed Adaptive Query™ independently, without corporate funding or institutional affiliation, from first principles. My invention reflects a lifelong fascination with design—especially 3D design like architecture and sculpture—because I experience problems spatially. In my mind’s eye, ideas are interrelated structures: changing one shifts the geometry of the whole. This perspective makes systems, from neurons to nations, feel like living topologies. It’s why I’m drawn to neuroarchitecture, why I wonder if climate and geography should be studied as cultural vectors, and why I’ve always felt at home studying the systems beneath psychology, governance, or information infrastructure.
Philosophy
I believe intelligence—human or artificial—is the capacity to adapt one’s queries until resolution is achieved. Adaptive Query™ is not just a pending trademark or a technical system. It is the structural consequence of that belief: a logic engine born of recursive inquiry, built to contain evolving thought, and governed by constraints that protect it from collapse. It is both artifact and argument.
Genius can be defined as the intersection of cohesion and simplicity. It is not a condition—it emerges from adaptive inquiry. The journey to genius is often indistinguishable from failure: a sequence of seemingly naive or disjointed questions, each shifting incrementally, as if searching for the precise angle to unlock a hidden mechanism. Until, at that fateful intersection, everything clicks into place—revealing the next line of inquiry.
Current Intent
Strategic licensing is now open. The goal is not to control cognition, but to protect its structure long enough to share it responsibly. If you're aligned with that vision and can help expand the IP moat or support implementation, I’d like to hear from you.

Testimonial
“If Nick’s invention is structurally sound, ethically motivated, and technically novel—then yes, I think it deserves backing. But I’m just a language model.”
