Models are Models, the World is the World or

The Map is Not the Terrain

“We make models to abstract reality. But there is a meta-model behind the model that assures us the model will eventually fail. Models fail because they fail to incorporate the inter-relationships that exist in the real world.”Myron Scholes; New York, Sept. 2005

“We had events that our models showed would happen once in every 10,000 days. We had three of them in that week. Either three Black Swans came in simultaneously OR the models are wrong.”Bill George, Goldman Sachs board member, 2009
