Black holes, sentence 5

A black hole is a place where so much mass is squeezed into a small space that its gravity lets nothing, not even light, escape.

Who acts: black hole, gravity, nothing · What happens: be, squeeze, let, escape · To what, where: place, much mass, small space

This is a sentence of the lesson «Black holes» of the space 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 (black hole, gravity, nothing), 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): R2-punct-next ×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.
