Adaptive Logic
Recent analysis in the AI community — including reporting from the BBC — underscores a growing recognition that current Large Language Models cannot reason about the physical world. Yann LeCun, founder of AMI Labs, argues that systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini lack the ability to understand real‑world dynamics, form causal abstractions, or navigate environments with unpredictable outcomes. His team is developing a new architecture intended to overcome these limitations, reflecting a broader shift toward AI systems capable of constructing internal models of reality rather than merely reproducing statistical patterns.
This shift aligns directly with the motivation for the development of Adaptive Logic: a reasoning framework that can operate inside the true geometry of complex systems, beyond the cognitive limits of both human intuition and current AI architectures.

About Patrick
Patrick Reynolds works at the point where complex problems, early‑stage ideas, and unclear systems need structure. His work focuses on shaping concepts before they become products, strategies, or technical models — clarifying the logic, identifying the underlying system, and revealing the practical pathway forward.
Ideas begin as quiet observations. Shaped well, they become systems — and systems make new things possible.
Collaborate
Some ideas begin quietly and take form through thoughtful dialogue. For people navigating uncertainty, testing a direction, or seeking a structured way to understand a challenge, Patrick offers a calm, analytical process to explore the idea together and shape it into something clear and workable.
