What is everything made of?, sentence 2

Atoms and the particles they make are never still: they jiggle, bump and drift, which is why Mum's perfume reaches your nose from across the room without anybody waving it.

Who acts: atoms, room, Mum · What happens: make, not be, jiggle, bump, drift, be · To what, where: particles, room, nose

This is a sentence of the lesson «What is everything made of?» of the chemistry 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 (atoms, room, Mum), 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): R8-pos-agree ×1. 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.
