Thank you - I think this was probably the inspiration or seed for what I was thinking :) I was amazed when I saw the ECS architecture when I filled my toe into game development. I remember wanting to apply it to other areas outside of game development. It's interesting though that a paradigm that intends to help simulate the real world has been eschewed for speed and maintainability in favour of something like ECS in game development, which is all about simulation.

Yeah it's an interesting pattern and even when implemented in an OOP language ignores most OOP ideas in favour of what is really more akin to data-driven design. There's some great insight into how the pattern evolves in non-game projects here: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/306983/271434 https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/306983/27143...
