I wrote that the proposed system was inspired by the TOR network, not that it literally uses the TOR network. To send a message across the TOR network, you wrap it in a bunch of layers of encryption, and then each TOR node removes one layer: that's the similar aspect.

Your other critiques are all valid. There's still a lower bound on the total time required for full decryption. I was just trying to show that that is possible.

Not meant as critiques! And I did not assume it was using the Tor network, I understood the word "inspired" as you meant it. Clearly I need to work on my communication :(
