HariKavach ( level 3 ) by Rajesh Patkar Harikavach is a symbolic manipulation game , designed for educational purpose.This game introduces a new symbolic language and challenges the users to encode their messages using the symbols. As you pass through several stages of the game the encoding and decoding of messages from natural languages to Harikavach and vice versa become more challenging.  The subject of Artificial Intelligence defines intelligence as ability to manipulate symbols.

Any Computer Language can be defined in terms of its  Vocabulary  and it's  Grammar . A Language's grammar specifies the rules of composition of its fundamental elements.

The answer depends on who is answering and what eating means.  For Chotu, it is chewing,  gulping, and relishing their taste. Chotu also rejects peduncles, cap stems that come with grapes.  For his digestive system, chewing would mean breaking down and converting grapes into its ingredients, and gulping would mean incorporating them in blood, and rejection means excretion of the non-essential.  As I see it, eating is of two types Deep and Shallow. Usually, what we call eating is in this context, Shallow Eating, and digestion is Deep Eating. Both are essential for survival. When we intake Knowledge, we go through a similar process. The Shallow Eating part is akin to reading books, watching videos, attending seminars, among other things. The metaphorical grapes have gone inside our system.  I would label
