Figuring out the True Name of a thing, a mathematical formulation sufficiently precise that one can apply lots of optimization pressure without the formulation breaking down, is absolutely possible and does happen
I would like a lot more examples and elaboration on this point. I’m kind of suspicious that if you apply enough pressure, even our best abstractions fail, or at least that our actual implementation of those abstractions.

There’s some more examples in this comment.
