The Frontier

Captions available

The idea

A search keeps a frontier: the set of paths built so far but not yet extended — the procedure's entire to-do list.

In practice

At Riverbend's start the frontier holds one trivial path — Home, alone — waiting to be extended.

Where people slip

The frontier holds paths, not places — a subtle difference that carries the whole method.
