I wonder if parsing algorithms could be used to make a computer understand, say, the rules of a game, or the design of a spacecraft.


Yes and no. There is always ambiguity in language. One needs to be able to reason before you can "understand" a text. We (as humans) deduce meanings, interpret a text, or even skip words. It get's worse if the text contains things like sarcasm, pictures or figure of speech.

In other words, if we can represent concepts by tokens that a parser can understand, is it possible to use parsing technology for broader things than just compilers?


Sounds like Protege[^] Smile | :)

Parsing a text is one thing. Reasoning about it's content is a step up. Understanding a (short) text[^] - is even more difficult.

The computer is mightier than the pen, the sword, and usually the programmer.
