So say you have a graph on distance, d, that you want to weight based on a preference, p, from 0-5 going from least preferred to most preferred.

You might make your weight function as w(d, p) = d * (2 ^ p)

That's fine, but `p` is a variable, not a constant, in the original post's case, right?

That doesn't seem necessary. Picking a value of p just selects how much you prefer short hope to shorter total distance.
