pyphi.models.explanation.requirement_binding_finding(phi, intrinsic_information, specification, differentiation)

The Finding naming which term of the intrinsic-information requirement set φₛ, or None when the requirement does not bind.

Under Mayner et al. (2026, Eq. 23), φₛ = min{φ_c, φ_e, ii(s)} with ii(s) = min over directions of min(i_spec, i_diff) (Eq. 13). When φₛ equals ii(s) up to config.numerics.precision, the finding reports the direction and the term ("specification" or "differentiation") whose rectified value equals ii(s).

Parameters:

• phi (Any)

• intrinsic_information (Any)

• specification (Mapping[Any, Any])

• differentiation (Mapping[Any, Any])

Return type:

Finding | None
