We've seen this movie before. The idea that proof creates an equivalence, instead of revealing it, is a recurring confusion in technical discussions, as if the discovery of a new continent makes it emerge from the ocean. Historically, even the great theorems of mathematics, like the Pythagorean Theorem, have always been seen as observations of an existing mathematical reality, rather than arbitrary constructions. The rigor of a proof is precisely to uncover what is already there. A constraint on our proof capacity is the existence of computational limits that can obscure these intrinsic equivalences, even when they exist.
