And if one actually read the full Teo patent for liquid metal conductors.... it's right in there, in the text.... for being a experimental medium/methodology for such work.
You may want to go back and read what a time crystal is, not "metaphorically" but actually is in practice what you wrote comes across as a metaphorical intepretation, not the reality .... and sure your patent is about that. Did you invent the internet too?
