A path visits the lattice points with nonnegative coordinates in this order:

(0,0)(0,0), (1,0)(1,0), (1,1)(1,1), (0,1)(0,1), (0,2)(0,2), (1,2)(1,2), (2,2)(2,2), (2,1)(2,1), (2,0)(2,0), (3,0)(3,0), (3,1)(3,1), (3,2)(3,2), (3,3)(3,3), (2,3)(2,3), (1,3)(1,3), (0,3)(0,3), (0,4)(0,4), …\ldots

Each time it has visited every point of a square block from (0,0)(0,0), it steps out and covers the next L-shaped layer, snaking back and forth in the pattern shown. What is the sum of the coordinates of the 20002000th point on the path?
