The mind at night: replays, worst-case thinking and nightmares, sentence 2

In the day he was fine; at night the clip came again and again; after a week it started to feel boring rather than awful; after three weeks it barely came at all, because each replay is the brain trying to "file" the moment, and each one makes it a little less sharp.

Who acts: he, clip, replay, brain, one · What happens: be, come, start, feel, try, file · To what, where: all, brain, replay

This is a sentence of the lesson «The mind at night: replays, worst-case thinking and nightmares» of the reflection 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 (he, clip, replay, brain), 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.
