Tokens which can be used in Understand

In addition to the tokens listed below, any description of an object or value can be used: for example, "[number]" matches text like 127 or SIX, and "[open door]" matches the name of any nearby door which is currently open.

"[anything]"  - same as "[thing]"

"[other things]" 

"[somebody]"  - same as "[someone]"
