Inferences

Description	Alignment of motion x-schema stages and Source_Path-Goal locations: 1) when motion begins, mover is at Source location; 2) as motion proceeds, mover is at (series of) path locations; 3) when motion ends, mover is at Goal location.
Type

Description	A single mover can only move along one path at a time. Therefore, motion along a given path means the mover is not following other alternative paths.
Type

Description	The direction of the mover's motion determines which locations the mover will move to (including the Goal location).
Type

Description	The mover's mass affects the speed of motion and/or the amount of energy needed for mover to move. For instance, if mass is increased (e.g. if 'burdens' are added), more energy is required.
