## Detailed Description

A class for describing the objects that comprise a BCPS subproblem.

At the BCPS level, all that is assumed about an object is that it has bounds and that it has an integrality type. The concept that an object

Infeasibility of the object This is some measure of the infeasibility of the object.

It should be scaled to be in the range [0.0, 0.5], with 0.0 indicating the object is satisfied.

The preferred branching direction is returned in preferredWay,

This is used to prepare for strong branching but should also think of case when no strong branching

The object may also compute an estimate of cost of going "up" or "down". This will probably be based on pseudo-cost ideas.
