Balance: the centre of gravity, sentence 3

Your body balances all the time without you noticing: when you lean forward, your bottom goes back, and your eyes and inner ears tell your brain which way you are tilting.

Who acts: body, you, bottom, eyes · What happens: balance, notice, lean, go back, tell, tilt · To what, where: brain, way · 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 (body, you, bottom, eyes), 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 ×3, 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.
