Elaborating object referents

[shiwalimohan]

I do not understand why the following was implemented -

(<int> ^stack.segments.segment <seg>
          ^referents.objects <objs>
         -^stack.segment <seg>)

Why are we not looking at the top-most segment to elaborate referent objects in focus?

I think it has to do with the possibility of the top segment not being
fully processed and having objects that we don't want to index into because
we haven't finalized what they will be. For instance, if we have multiple
results and we haven't chosen the correct one yet. I'm not totally sure of
this though.

It looks like removing the negated test in this rule should not affect behavior. Removing the negated test will also make it consistent with the theory of attention - every object (or any other item) that is being talked about is considered to be in focus on the conversation. I will test the change to be sure nothing breaks.
