ML possesses two independent existence proofs that reliability is achievable — SVMs prove it within ML's mathematical framework (convex optimization with Bayes-optimal recovery and global optimality guarantees) and scientific deployments prove it outside ML's framework (substituting domain-specific physical validation for absent reliability guarantees) — yet neither pathway transfers to general-purpose deployment.

Justifications

SL — Lateral connection between two independent chains showing reliability has been proven achievable from both internal and external perspectives with neither being accessible

Antecedents (all must be IN):

IN svm-existence-proof-reliable-ml-inaccessible — SVMs suggest that reliable ML may be achievable — their unusual theory-practice unity demonstrates that mathematical rigor can produce a fully codified practical methodology — but ML's economic and research dynamics appear to select against such approaches, making reliability arguably demonstrable in principle yet difficult to reach through the field's current evolutionary trajectory.
IN scientific-deployment-bypasses-crisis-via-external-validation — Scientific ML deployments (AlphaFold, GNoME, CERN simulations) succeed by substituting domain-specific physical validation for ML's absent reliability guarantees, while simultaneously compounding accountability concerns when the same implicit models (GANs) are deployed in high-stakes domains — revealing that successful ML deployment requires escaping ML's own evaluation methodology, which is precisely the escape route unavailable to domains without independent physical ground truth.
