//
// Each edge bundle corresponds to a node in a Hopfield network. Constraints on
// basic blocks are weighted by the block frequency and added to become the node
// bias.
//
// Transparent basic blocks have the variable live through, but don't care if it
// is spilled or in a register. These blocks become connections in the Hopfield
// network, again weighted by block frequency.
//
// The Hopfield network minimizes (possibly locally) its energy function:
//
// E = -sum_n V_n * ( B_n + sum_{n, m linked by b} V_m * F_b )
//
// The energy function represents the expected spill code execution frequency,
// or the cost of spilling. This is a Lyapunov function which never increases
// when a node is updated. It is guaranteed to converge to a local minimum.
