The registry meta-mechanism (Prototype Manager and Singleton Registry converging on key-to-instance lookup) and Abstract Factory's initialization strategies (including registry-based selection as the most extensible option) reveal a layered creational infrastructure: registries provide the decoupled lookup mechanism at the bottom, while factory patterns provide the type-safe creation policy at the top — making runtime creational flexibility a product of infrastructure layering rather than any single pattern.
Registry meta-mechanism and Abstract Factory's registry initialization strategy converge on the same infrastructure layer
