What are you trying to do?
The only way I can think of to do a clay cement would be to bake your entire wall by buidling a kiln around it after laying the bricks with clay instead of mortar.

Use a majority clay mixture as a mortar WITHOUT just resorting to making it a commonly used mortar (lime, portland) with clay thrown in. I want an independent process entirely.

Thought about that. There are molten stone walls from the british isles that were created this way. But it does seem impractical for a building.

If there's some sort of chemical process that can heat the mortar to firing temperature, maybe? That may be dangerous to any wood in a construction though.
