The market is based on running code, not design documents.

So you need to start implementing this proposal. Once all your claims are 
backed up by running code, there's actually something to discuss.

We all remember IPv10 proposal from some years ago, with same design 
goals and virtually the same claims.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-omar-ipv10/10/

Khaled made similar claims as you do. I never saw any running code.

Until you have running code you're wasting everybody's time, just as 
Khaled did.

You now have exposure so people who might want to join your effort can do 
that. Go off, implement, and come back when you have, and we can have that 
debate you desire.
