Conjecture and Question

However, if you are three handed with Negreanu and he goes broke to a complete fish, the value of your stack goes up significantly.

In the theory, this part should be covered under the "skill advantage" component of the formula, while the "value of the NON-YOU stacks" remains the same. Skill advantage is not a constant, as it would change depending on the remaining opponents and your skill advantage over them in particular. Your advantage over a field involving Negraneau is less than over a field involving the donk. The number of players remaining is a separate component but also taken into consideration in the formula, and is more important as the field thins out.

Also note the "big-stack" concept falls under this skill advantage component also. As you accumulate a big stack, your proportional skill advantage over your opponents should become greater in that situation if playing a big stack is something you do well.
