When can I use “being”?

If two paths have the same relevant slice with output being the slicing criteria, then they have the same input-output relation.

I am not sure where we use being. Can we use being after the person or object to describe?

Jim, being a lovely boy, is liked by all his friends.

Answer

The second example is a perfectly fine example of participial phrase.

Being a lovely boy, Jim is liked by all his friends.

I assume the first sentence is missing a the.

If two paths have the same relevant slice with the output being the slicing criteria, then they have the same input-output relation.

I don’t understand what the sentence means, but you probably mean the following:

If two paths have the same relevant slice when the output is the slicing criteria, then they have the same input-output relation.
