I should point out that I'm not entirely serious about the concept of wit really being any measurable amount of meaning, I just wanted a catchy name that sounds

  Certainly lambda is Turing equivalent, so sure. Seems like you could say the same for other things that are Turing equivalent, OTOH. Lukasiewicz logic [1] ; MOV [2] ; Semi-Thue string rewriting [3], and so on. But since such things usually suffer from the Turing Tarpit [4], perhaps there's one that has some kind of minimax to be ideally terse and require ideally-few steps for its Turing equivalency, similar to the way that radix 3 (closest to e) has been claimed to have been proven to be the ideally efficient representation system. [5] (I say "claimed" simply because I recently saw a claim that there's a loophole in the usual reasoning.)
