Especially when written “Entity Component System”, due to an ambiguity in the English language, a common interpretation of the name is that an ECS is a system comprising entities and components. For example, in the 2002 talk at GDC, [ 1 ] Scott Bilas compares a C++ object system and his new custom component system.

The components are details of the message, for example the message's text "Hello, world!" or perhaps the message's font or color. The system in this case is the entity-renderer, that renders messages to the screen. In this case, the system looks only at the text component of the entity and not other entity components.
Another issue with inheritance is that subclasses must be defined in code, which means that program users cannot add new subclasses at runtime. Other design patterns (such as Entity–component–system) allow program users to define variations of an entity at runtime.

Abstractions of the C4 model: A software system is made up of one or more containers (web applications, databases, etc), each of which contains one or more components, which in turn are implemented by one or more code elements (classes, interfaces, objects, functions, etc)
The entity–control–boundary (ECB), or entity–boundary–control (EBC), or boundary–control–entity (BCE) is an architectural pattern used in use-case–driven object-oriented programming that structures the classes composing high-level object-oriented source code according to their responsibilities in the use-case realization.
