Text: «The Adventures of Pinocchio, by Carlo Collodi», Project Gutenberg book 500 (public domain in the USA). Annotation: the tales treebank of Mova corpus 0.3 (mova-tales-silver-en.conllu), Apache-2.0 OR MIT: parsed by Mova, patched by a large language model as teacher under UD validation gates. Sentence gutenberg:pg500:1178.
The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Claude Opus (medium) patches; gates UD 2.18. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the tale's sample read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
