One of the things that make parser fiction feel magical is the infinite potential implied by the blank text prompt. In reality, the game only responds to a few very specific input patterns. Your success with the game depends on your ability to quickly narrow down the infinite potential to the reality of the input situation, and your continued enjoyment depends on your ability to hold that infinite potential in your head anyway.
