I don't quite understand what you are saying about llms. Language models are sort of a reverse engineering of the ways humans learn. I imagine if you read basically the whole internet and meaningfully memorized it you would be able to connect a bunch of dots too. Computers are just fast. Math viewed as tool doesn't require formalization, math as an endevour does. Sometimes exploring a theory is useful sometimes it's only interesting in itself
