The internet and undersea cables, sentence 10

In a fibre-optic cable, light bounces along a hair-thin glass thread, carrying data as flashes, and it can travel a long way before it needs boosting; never look into the end of a fibre.

Who acts: light · What happens: bounce, carry, travel, need, boost, not look · To what, where: thin glass thread, data, long way

This is a sentence of the lesson «The internet and undersea cables» of the technology 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 (light), 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): no change. 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.
