Wind and weather, sentence 0

Wind is simply air on the move, and air moves from places where it presses harder to places where it presses less, like a crowd spilling out of a full room into an empty one.

Who acts: Wind, air, crowd · What happens: be, move, press, spill out · To what, where: air, move, places, full room

This is a sentence of the lesson «Wind and weather» of the physics 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 (Wind, air, crowd), 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.
