In this case the accumulate clause is maintaining a counter (total) that's incremented whenever a Criteria is detected that is contained in both the Data and Query object matched in the rule.  So:

# Find Criteria that are contained in both the Data and Query
from accumulate( Criteria( this memberOf d, this memberOf q ),
# Initialize the counter to 0
 init( int total = 0; ),
# Increment when the above condition is  matched
 action( total ++; ),
# Decrement if a matched Criteria now fails to match
 reverse( total --; ),
# return the total when all known Criteria are matched
 result( total ) )
