The main point was my question :

Is there really no known method of combining cryptographic algorithms
in a way to build a provably unbreakable symmetric encryption? Certain
modes of operation can be proved
as-secure-as-the-underlying-block-cipher, but IS THERE no way to get
"a level lower" with the proof - that the very cipher can be proved
secure if some basic assumptions are satisfied?

As far as I know there is no such scheme but I may be wrong. Is there?
