 | `accumulator` | `ANY` | A variable that holds the result of the `reductionFunction` as the `list` is iterated.
 It is initialized with the value of `initial`.

 To demonstrate the utility of predicates in quantified path patterns, this section considers an example of finding the shortest path by physical distance and compares that to the results yielded by using the xref:patterns/shortest-paths.adoc[`SHORTEST`] keyword.
 The graph in this example continues with `Station` nodes, but adds both a geospatial `location` property to the `Stations`, as well as `LINK` relationships with a `distance` property representing the distance between pairs of `Stations`:

 It also shows that there is only one path to solving the query (a number that remains constant even if the data from the rest of the UK railway network was included).
 Using inline predicates or making quantified path patterns more specific where possible can thus greatly improve query performance.
 
+An alternative is to use an upper bound for the total distance, for example `6.05`.
+Once a path exceeds this upper bound, we can prune it and continue searching other paths.
+The xref::functions/predicate.adoc#functions-allreduce[allReduce] predicate function expresses this as follows:
