So, reset to 0 at every 50ms, or some other time unit? And this applies to instantaneous utility as well—do you really mean to say that there can exist no experience that is twice as good as a 0.5 utility experience?
You may have a total utility of 10^10X where X is the maximum utility of the average human. All your utility values are expressed as a fraction of 10^10X. A utility value of 0.5 utils grants you 5.0*10^9 utility, and grants an average human 0.5 utility.
What’s an “event”? What if multiple streams of qualia are happening simultaneously—is each instant (I chose 50ms as a guess at minimum experience unit) an event, or the time between sleep periods (and do people not have experiences while sleeping)?
Why do you claim there is a maximum utility for an “average human”, and why use that rather than the maximum utility of the maximally-satisfied human? And is this a linear scaling (if so, why not just use the number rather than a constant fraction) or some logarithmic or other transform (and if so, why)?

Reset to 0 after each event.
