Rotating seatpost/saddle clamp?
Anyone ever heard of a seatpost/saddle clamp that is full time mutli-directional? Something like a ball and socket device that allows the saddle to yaw and pitch while riding, therefore constantly compensating for changes in body positioning such a moving from the hoods to the drops or whatever?

No offense intended to OP, but this is the first thing that came to mind:

Never heard of it, but for a brief time I had a suspension seatpost that gave me all the yaw I wanted - and more.

the thing the Selle Anatomica saddle makers had in mind was a way to make the saddle move with each leg
thats why they separated it in 2 down the middle...
the Brompton saddle adapter pin on top of a common seat post allows a saddle clip to be fixed around it's horizontal tube, above, at slanted angles .
I wouldn't want a saddle which has no fixed position .. might as well not sit down at all ... Note: there are stair stepper bikes already.
But you are welcome to invest in and found a company to make one, and see if it sells on the international market place ..
