An integration pattern emerges

If we combine the real-life scenarios presented above, plus a few more from other domains, an integration pattern starts to emerge. The assembly patterns (Agreement, Party, Location, etc.) often seem to have the same or similar associations, even though they are encountered in vastly different situations.

One of the things you may have noticed is the loose coupling between the assembly patterns. Across widely divergent problem spaces (banking, mineral exploration, etc.) the basic assembly patterns can be linked for significantly different purposes.
