Finite-parameter determination of invariant types

Let p(x)p(x) be a global MM-invariant type and let Δ\Delta be a finite set of formulas. Finite determination conjecture. There is a finite set Δ\Delta' of formulas such that, for every ϕ(x;y)Δ\phi(x;y)\in\Delta and all b,bUb,b'\in\mathcal U, if

tpΔ(b/M)=tpΔ(b/M),\operatorname{tp}_{\Delta'}(b/M)=\operatorname{tp}_{\Delta'}(b'/M),

then

pϕ(x;b)ϕ(x;b).p\vdash \phi(x;b)\leftrightarrow\phi(x;b').

A positive answer to the preceding invariant-type quotient conjecture would imply this statement; it is therefore presented as an open consequence/question.
