Not an example of complex mathematical reasoning, but aren't AlphaZero and its cousins evidence that ML can independently rediscover principles that humans have found, as well as discover new principles of its own? For example, LC0 plays for advantages that humans hadn't considered before in Chess.

Very good point. Apparently human players stared studying AIs playing go and Chess to learn new techniques.

I'm not an expert in those algorithms, so... maybe? If so, maybe someone will successfully apply those ideas to the challenge I've described. I'd love to see it happen.
