====== Isn't DCI just another software design pattern? ======
As you may have guessed, no. :-)

===== Organization =====
> The difference between DCI and traditional object orientation is that the latter organizes concepts at the extremes either of a rather free-form network structure or of a single, punitive hierarchy of forms. The DCI paradigm strives to express a network model rather than a hierarchy, but provides disciplines for intentionality of form rather than leaving it to emergence.((http://fulloo.info/Documents/CoplienReenskaugASA2012.pdf))

===== Execution model =====
DCI has a different execution model than the traditional OO model. The RoleMethods in a Context are only available to a Role-playing object during the Context execution, nowhere else. 

> The DCI Contexts live on a stack and their Roles can carry Role-specific behavior (RoleMethods)((http://folk.uio.no/trygver/2012/DCIExecutionModel-2.1.pdf))
