objInConvScope (obj)action.t[6595]

resolveTopic (lst, requiredNum, np)OVERRIDDENaction.t[6560]
Resolve the topic phrase. We'll break up the vocabulary matches into three sublists: the objects that are either in physical scope or known to the actor performing the command; objects that the actor considers likely topics; and everything else.
