4. CONCEPTUAL INSPIRATION (metaphor only; NO third-party code or text included)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XERO's architecture borrows *names and principles* (time crystal, Casimir/zero-
point, holographic projection) as engineering metaphors implemented in original
mathematics. No proprietary documents are bundled. The harmonic-chemistry law is
the author's own published work ("Making Chemistry with Sound", Curzi 2022).
