I would imagine creating that "mathematical" part of the brain might involve a different approach than just predicting the next combination of arithmetic operators. As you put it someone learning 7+10 = 10 is similar to how LLMs work with the data they are trained on, whereas with something like Wolfram Alpha the methods of solving have to be programmed.

Fascinating! thanks for sharing.
