Total Accumulation Surface
—sum of Start and End surfaces
…the example location is units along it optimal path back to the Start. Similarly, it is units to the End. This means the location lies on an optimal path that is a total of units long which is the lowest total value therefore on the Optimal Path (valley bottom)
