The semantics for the mathematical model /are/ the theory of how it works. M = mass, F = force etc. st., the model claims we are in a world of masses and forces, and so on. And this model can be disconfirmed. You're confusing two issues here. Nowhere in the whole of science are models presented without an explanatory semantics. Almost nowhere in the whole of ML, are they. Here it is trivial to disconfirm even the authors interpretation of the NNs 'finding' of solutions, by noting it is often using edges that don't exist. This whatever it is doing, we can immediately show it isn't traversing a graph. The author seems to wilfully opted for the superstitious interpretation
