The GoF's design knowledge system — combining a formalization heritage that produces validated patterns with a SOLID mastery framework that supports principled judgment — is reinforced by a three-tier empirical progression of pattern composition: MVC demonstrates three-pattern architectural composition, Lexi demonstrates eight-pattern application-scale composition, and ET++ demonstrates near-complete 23-pattern framework-scale usage. This progressive evidence suggests that the knowledge system's theoretical claims about pattern composition are consistent with observed practice across increasing scales of software design.
Complete knowledge system is substantiated by three-tier progressive empirical evidence
