"Unlike most contemporary spiritual works, which are often collections of talks or conversations, the AP Framework is a deliberately organised, book-length work. It covers seven major areas of philosophy and includes an extensive glossary of specialised terms. It has also been published as a physical volume, The AP Framework. The framework also has a practical digital expression in AP Mirror, an LLM-based application designed to bring its method of self-inquiry into personal situations."
