There are MMORPGs, Second Life, many other sim platforms
AP could be introduced on. Both in form of the raw text, such
as added to the virtual world libraries, posted on virtual lightpoles,
etc. And as a functional implementation, whether in a virtual
market or embodied into a players character.

Such platforms being centralized, the implementation
would likely be reported and instantly shutdown.

The raw text of AP might survive a bit longer.

The main issue with such proposal as AP,
as you noted, is getting exposure needed to
run it through the critique and development cycles.

For that you have to keep reposting AP
everywhere... literally jamming it into peoples
streams randomly throughout social media,
news releases, journals, etc until a large
enough mass starts to pick it up and work
with it in their brains.

Same as suggesting there is any truth out there
besides the fake two party duopolies, etc...
such as Libertarian Voluntary Anarchist models.
Regardless of how valid the latter may in fact be,
they are immediately dismissed because they
are so far outside the everyday exposure and
programmed computation modes of their brains.

To counter that programming you have to
either get lucky with a starburst logic bomb,
or invest much traditional school time equivalent
in reprogramming them.

For example... the public conferences and interviews
AP has done recently have had more public exposure
effects towards that than all posts here to date.
