The brain and nerves, sentence 4

The brain never switches off: while you sleep it sorts the day's memories and makes dreams, and every time you practise your times tables the paths between its cells grow stronger.

Who acts: brain, you, paths · What happens: not switch off, sleep, sort, make, practise, grow · To what, where: memories, dreams, times tables

This is a sentence of the lesson «The brain and nerves» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (brain, you, paths), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): no change. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
