MVC's three-pattern composition (Observer for model-view notification, Strategy for view-controller variation, Composite for nested view hierarchies) touches three of the four behavioral modification dimensions: decoupling topology (Observer), state-driven behavioral variation (Strategy, along the state-strategy duality axis), and wrapping depth (Strategy also appears in the wrapping dimension) — suggesting that the behavioral modification space's dimensional analysis may capture key forces operating in real pattern compositions. However, the antecedents do not explicitly map Composite to a behavioral modification dimension (structural recursion is not named as one of the four dimensions), so the correspondence is partial rather than comprehensive.
MVC's three composed patterns empirically cover three of four behavioral modification dimensions
