Yup. Even if we do the creation of the wormhole ourselves, and even if it is a result of equations that we made up, it's still just manipulating the reality that's already there right?

Equations are just abstractions, models... GWF is a model which describes and predicts what actually happens, but it's going to be imperfect and have its limitations too.

Sometimes equations are created based on observations.. sometimes they are created by induction and reasoning. Newton's equations about gravity could not have been confirmed fully until long after Newton was dead; the technology just didn't exist to confirm the inverse square relationship between gravity and distance, but Newton reasoned it first.
