Designed specifically to be as generalized and non-exclusive as possible, the believe system of paradigms has not caught on outside of gnomish communities. Even after the proponents of individual paradigms began to publish mascots to attempt to make the paradigms more relatable, it only served to make the beliefs seem more childish and disingenuous. Many who have considered adopting a paradigm admit that the lack of culture, history, or tradition makes it less attractive.

Fervent believers in paradigms meet in places called Paradigm Halls. There is nothing especially holy or ceremonial about these buildings. Sometimes they are dedicated spaces, but more often they are basements,  community centers, or leased storefronts. They are often quite clean, well-organized, have a spread of simple refreshments, and stocked with plenty of extra chairs and tables for an impromptu caucus. Walls are often covered in book shelves containing a variety of books on each paradigm, often donated by local authors, or thrifted from book stores. Additionally, Paradigm Halls are staffed by enthusiastic philosophers called Moderators. While a Moderator is often compared to a priest, they are distinct in a number of key ways. Firstly, unlike most priests, they are not a proponent of one particular form of belief, instead they are equally familiar with all paradigms, and actively study new paradigms as they grow in popularity. Secondly, unlike most priests, a Moderator is not likely to offer guidance or affirmation of a visitor's belief, instead they will adopt an aggressively contrarian opinion in order to fuel debate. Finally, Moderators do not receive special status or perks from their job, they are normally volunteers from a community, and often ask that members of their community be available to replace them.
