Read the equation
The body computes Φ(mean)/(1+population variance) for at least two entries. It rewards a mean near one and uniform component values. The comment about a minimum over mutual-information partitions is not implemented here: there is no joint distribution, cut enumeration, or causal transition model.

| Phi_int | Variance-penalized unity score |
| normalized_variance | variance/(1+variance) |
How it works
Read the definition from its right-hand expression to the quantity on the left. Its surrounding source records the intended input, state, or parameter context. Where the source leaves an operation unspecified, this page preserves that gap.
Assumptions & limits
Source recovery establishes that the expression appears in this record. Its mathematical validity, implementation behavior, and interpretation must be assessed separately. See the linked source and research notes for the checks available for this version.
