but sort of getting more at your core point, borrowing across fields is basically a technique for problem solving. in domains like, applied math, what you tend to find is that everyone in different fields are often doing the same thing but have different names for it. statisticians, electrical engineers, data scientists and physicists will all often use the same math (linear systems) but with very different names attached.
