Status: OUT
The composition-centric paradigm depends on the complete GoF prerequisite stack: interface inheritance provides polymorphic substitutability (validated by LSP), creational patterns provide runtime object construction, and together these enable the composition mechanisms that dominate the catalog.
The paradigm cannot stand without both of its independent prerequisites — removing either collapses the ecosystem
