Computers and the internet, sentence 0
In the 1840s Ada Lovelace wrote what many call the first computer program, for a calculating machine that Charles Babbage designed but never finished, and she imagined that one day machines might even make music.
Who acts: Ada Lovelace, many, Charles, machines · What happens: write, call, design, not finish, imagine, make · To what, where: 1840s, first computer program, calculating machine, music · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Computers and the internet» of the history 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 (Ada Lovelace, many, Charles, machines), 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): R7-rel-agree ×1, 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.
