Julian Jaynes' matetaphor nomenclature: metaphier, metaphrand, paraphier and paraphrand

A theory is thus a metaphor between a model and data. And understanding in science is the feeling of similarity between complicated data and a familiar model.

- Julian Jaynes

ABOUT ME

I am a senior credit risk model developer at ING Group, working on IFRS9 credit risk methodologies and implementation of CRR3.

In Februaru 2022 I graduated with a BSE in applied physics at Faculty of Phsyics, Warsaw University of Technology. In July 2023 I defended my master's thesis (applied physics again) on statistical methods used to locate the source of diffused information in a complex network - specifically, the robustness of these methods in a network undergoing topological changes. I co-authored a paper about this topic. Serious stuff.

Personal interests include: physics, mathematical physics, statistical physics and describing everything in the world using Ising-like spin interactions. At the same time I try not shy away from humanities, favorites being philosophy, religious philosphy (theology) and behavioral philosophy (psychology). I also enjoy novels from mid-19th century by certain Russian and Polish authors. You can probably guess which.
