formalistized
Formalistized is a term that describes the process of making something, such as a system, concept, or activity, conform to formal rules or structures. This often involves translating the subject matter into a language or framework that can be precisely defined and manipulated. In mathematics and logic, formalization is a core practice where imprecise ideas are translated into rigorous symbolic systems. For example, natural language descriptions of mathematical proofs are formalized into a sequence of logical steps with clearly stated axioms and inference rules.
The act of formalistizing can bring clarity and precision, making it easier to analyze, verify, and communicate
