Decorator's operational constraints (identity breakage and composition order sensitivity) are consequences of transparent recursive delegation via single-child wrapping. Since Decorator is structurally identical to degenerate Composite, these constraints likely apply to any mechanism sharing that same single-child wrapping structure. This suggests that the wrapping taxonomy (Proxy→Decorator→Strategy), which operates on this structural foundation, may be bounded not only by encapsulation concerns but also by the fragility inherent in transparent recursive delegation — though the extent to which these constraints limit other points on the taxonomy requires further examination.
Decorator's operational constraints propagate to the entire wrapping taxonomy via its structural identity with degenerate Composite
