Dialog operator #3: budget ceiling

[timm]

add a budget ceiling number that is selected randomly by the DE over the range min to max:

max = sum of all costs in entire mode min = max/10

during the run. if cost > ceiling then stop. and by "cost" here i mean the sum of cost of all nodes currently used in the simulation.

I'm not understanding "sum of all costs in entire mode".

However, establishing a maximum allowable cost as a global constraint is a good filter for stopping early.
