Minor formal note: I have a mildly negative knee-jerk when someone repeatedly links to/promotes to something referred to only as "my _". Giving your formalism a proper name might make you sound less gratuitously self-promotional (which I don't think you are).
Hi Vulture, thanks for your comment!
Actually I already have a name for the formalism: I call it the "updateless intelligence metric". My intuition was that referring to my own invention by the serious-sounding name I gave it myself would sound more pompous / self-promotional than referring to it as just "my formalism". Maybe I was wrong.
