Tiny tubes of liquid in your inner ear tell your brain which way you are tilting, and after spinning the liquid keeps moving, which makes you dizzy.

Who acts: Tiny tubes, you, liquid · What happens: tell, tilt, spin, keep, move, make · To what, where: way, brain, you · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Balance: the centre of gravity» 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 (Tiny tubes, you, liquid), 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): R5-strong ×3, R6-punct-agree ×2, 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.
