Algorithms, bubbles and false balance, sentence 5

An algorithm is a set of rules a computer follows; feeds use it to choose what to show next from what you watched and clicked.

Who acts: algorithm, computer, feeds, you · What happens: be, follow, use, choose, show, watch · To what, where: set, rules, computer

This is a sentence of the lesson «Algorithms, bubbles and false balance» of the politics 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 (algorithm, computer, feeds, you), 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 ×1, R7-rel-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.
