But that small semantic note aside, if an LLM is used to trigger other tools to find new facts, then those other tools are modeling the "world" or a particular domain. Alternatively you could say that the system as a whole, that the LLM is a part of, models the "world" or a particular domain.
That's not what synthesis is.

Does it matter how the new fact is acquired?
If an LLM uses a calculator to come up with an answer, does it make it worse than a model that can inference the answer without using a tool?
