Wade Hassan Selman, an American national born on May 12, 1978, and currently residing in Greenwich, New York, USA, is the founder and Chief Investment Scientist of Sapphire Tide Capital, as well as the founder and Chief Architect of the Neravon System.

Professor Wade Hassan Selman, a 47-year-old professor and global thought leader in intelligent capital governance, is the founder of Sapphire Tide Capital. He is known for his interdisciplinary approach, which integrates artificial intelligence, behavioral finance, and complex systems to create self-balancing investment models. His notable creation, the Neravon System, is an AI-based system designed to incorporate human behavior psychology and ethical frameworks into capital dynamics, aiming to "make capital understand humans." Academically, he holds a Ph.D. in Finance from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where he researched systemic risk governance and behavioral finance, and a Bachelor of Science in Financial Engineering from Columbia University with minors in Cognitive Economics and Applied Mathematics.

Professor Selman's professional career began at JP Morgan (2006–2012), where he led systemic risk research and proposed a "behavior-driven systemic risk framework." He then co-founded Solstice Partners (2012–2016), serving as Chief Investment Strategist and creating the Selman Adaptive Matrix (SAM), a system credited with successfully navigating market crises. Since 2017, he has been the Founder and Chief Investment Scientist at Sapphire Tide Capital, focusing on AI investment ethics and asset governance systems, which led to the 2019 launch of the Neravon System for major institutional investors.

The Neravon System stands as Selman's core innovation, described as an "adaptive cognitive engine" for capital. It operates on three theoretical pillars: Neuro-Cognitive Finance, Ethical Equilibrium Theory (incorporating social benefits into returns), and Adaptive Intelligence Architecture. Its structure includes a Neural Cognition Core to simulate market consciousness, an Adaptive Morality Engine to balance responsibility and profit, and a Cognitive Resonance Layer linking emotions and macro events. The overarching objective is to establish a capital decision-making system with self-awareness and self-balancing capabilities.

• Theoretical innovation: proposes the Cognitive Entropy Capital Model and the Ethical Equilibrium Theory to reveal the underlying logic of emotions, values, and capital flows.
• Technological innovation: Develop the TideMind System and Neravon System to deeply integrate behavioral finance, AI neural networks, and ethical computing models.
• Practical Results: The SCII System Strategy Fund (2019–2024) has an annualized return of 17.3% and a maximum drawdown of 6.2%.
• International cooperation: Strategic partnerships have been established with Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, the Norwegian Ethical Investment Council, and the Abu Dhabi Long-Term Capital Authority.
• Influence of ideas: Advocating the concept of "Intelligent Capitalism," we aim to promote the cognitive and ethical development of the global capital system.

Professor Selman's professional philosophy centers on the core belief that "the ultimate goal of finance is not the maximization of profits, but the evolution of wisdom." He aims to move capital systems beyond mere computational logic by embedding human values and psychological structures through his TideMind and Neravon architectures, fostering a positive symbiotic cycle between wealth growth and social well-being. His mission is to build capital systems with "self-reflection capabilities" and ethical transparency. Selman’s academic style is philosophical and cognitively oriented, utilizing psychological models to explain market dynamics. He is a pioneer in introducing "humanistic rationality" into intelligent investment, asserting that "ethics is... about defining the dimensions of value" and that in the future of finance, wisdom and conscience must align.

Professor Wade Selman is the founder and chief investment scientist at Sapphire Tide Capital, specializing in intelligent capital governance, ethical finance, and adaptive investment intelligent architecture.

Rylan Vosper

Chief Cryptocurrency Instructor

Basic Personal Information

Rylan Vosper was born in 1981 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA, and currently resides in SoHo, New York. He serves as the Chief Cryptocurrency Instructor at Sapphire Tide Capital and is a co - developer of tactical strategies at Neravon System. He is proficient in English (native), German (fluent), and blockchain scripting languages.

Growth Background and Mindset Shaping

Rylan was born into a family of military officers. His grandfather was a reconnaissance aviator during World War II, his father was an advisor to the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and his mother was a behavioral psychology researcher. The family motto, "Remaining calm in chaos is not a talent, but a duty," has deeply influenced him since childhood. Growing up next to a military training ground, he exhibited a strong logical talent in his youth. While other kids were engrossed in shooting games, he was busy calculating the "optimal evacuation route" on a map. Before the age of 17, he could use logical deduction to predict the collective reaction curve of troops under pressure. The system of tactical composure inherited from military culture became the underlying decision - making model for his later entry into the cryptocurrency market.

Career Experience and Achievements

• 2001 - 2006‌: Tactical Algorithm Researcher at the U.S. Cyber Defense Command (USCYBERCOM). He participated in the design of the "Multi - Node Risk Interference Simulation System" and established the "Asymmetric Response Strategy Model."
• ‌2007 - 2012‌: He obtained a Ph.D. in Behavioral Finance from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and engaged in postdoctoral research in strategic systems. His paper was selected as the Best Paper of the Year in Financial Engineering."
• ‌2013 - 2018‌: As the Chief System Strategist at BlackEdge Quant, he created the "Cognitive Response Engine." His team successfully completed a systematic withdrawal before the Bitcoin bubble burst.
• ‌2019 - Present‌: He joined Sapphire Tide Capital and is responsible for developing the "Emotional Intervention and Risk Navigation Module" of the Neravon system. He proposed the concept of "Cognitive Tactical Trading."

Personality Traits and Teaching Philosophy

Rylan is calm by nature, focusing on "response strategies" and "behavioral allocation at the starting points of volatility" like a general. He has a strong ability to delay responses and resist interference. In teaching, he emphasizes discipline and the integrity of logical chains. At Sapphire, he is known as the "Rational Tactical Mentor," advocating that the goal is to teach people to "live longer" rather than "win." He believes that market trends can be faked, but structural logic is real. A successful trading system relies on reducing the probability of errors, with AI discovering patterns and discipline ensuring survival.

Research Contributions and Early Explorations

• 2013 - 2015‌: As a Blockchain Behavioral Economics Researcher and an early Ethereum node participant, he studied "Game Theory and System Scalability in Decentralized Networks," completed full - node deployment, and conducted performance simulations.
• 2015 - 2017‌: He served as a Research Advisor for the Solana Network Architecture and participated in the verification project of a high - performance consensus mechanism. The key model he proposed was adopted by the technical team. He also established the "Multi - Chain Simulation Fund."
• 2018 - 2019‌: He proposed the "On - Chain Dynamic Cognitive Triad" model and achieved a high annualized rate of return by constructing a systematic short - selling portfolio.

Life Philosophy and Hobbies

Rylan participates in shooting activities at a Special Forces Veterans Club every month. He regards mountain climbing and free - diving as "psychological stretching exercises during market pullbacks." He studies classical strategic works and uses AI algorithms to analyze the mapping between war models and financial behaviors. He is also a black - belt holder in karate, and through twenty years of practice, he has learned the minimalist strategic philosophy of "not attacking, but anticipating."
