To be clear, I am deep into auto-research, but hooking up slop to slop is just unlikely to produce anything valuable.
Value is in how maths is communicated: The process, frustrations, triumphs, etc.
We have to able to take generated formalizations from “it compiles” to “it is correct” before crystallizing them.

Do you have a formal proof of that?
Premises: Garbage in implies garbage out (first principle of computer science) The input is possibly, but not necessarily garbage (definition of slop)
By the standard methods of modal logic, it follows that it is possible that the output is garbage and therefore slop by definition. QED.
