Composition, not "combination" You find it in mathematics.
Pretty useful many contexts.  IMHO of course.

Anyway, I don't think this argument has any end.  You don't seem to
have any concept of information hiding, abstraction reuse, etc.
Nor do you seem to have any inclination to start actually acting
on that purported plan of yours, even where there is clear
agreement on specific parts of it.  So we don't have a common basis
for discussion in this matter.   That's fine, what can I say?
Go assembly, go machine code!
