Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the swing, relay its principle and forms from reference sources, describe the playground and ride forms its aliases name, and distinguish a swing from a static seat and from other playground equipment, noting safety.

A swing is a seat hung from ropes or chains so it can move back and forth, used for play and relaxation; the registry aliases name playground swings and larger amusement rides such as swing rides, pirate ships and wave swingers. A swing works as a pendulum, and forms range from a simple seat on a garden frame to mechanised fairground rides. This entry covers the seat and ride senses of swing.

What it is for: Providing a hanging seat that moves back and forth.

It can be explain the object; relay its pendulum principle; describe playground and ride forms; distinguish it from a static seat.
