An analysis isn't restricted to math and formulas. It actually means to break complex things into single elements and observe them, which I partly did (absolutely if informal analysis counts).

Of course, math would help, but this is Theorycrafting, we're creating theories based on observations. What we're taking under the microscope are the observations itself.
