Methods

`objInConvScope (obj)` | `action.t[6595]`

Determine if an object is in "conversational" scope - this returns true if the object is in physical scope or it's known to the actor performing the command.

`resolveTopic (lst, requiredNum, np)`OVERRIDDEN | `action.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.
