Pure fabrication
Sometimes it is a good idea to introduce into a system an object that has no counterpart in the real world. This is called the pure fabrication pattern. Find examples of pure fabrication, and weave them into a narrative that can teach programmers when it is helpful and when it is not helpful to fabricate objects.
Introduction
Programming all code by a design pattern can make the code more readable and easy to manipulate in the future. What do you do when you don't have any patterns that actually work in the design? A pure fabrication is a class that does not represent a concept in the problem domain. It is specially made up to achieve low coupling, high cohesion, and the reuse potential only if needed. So in code where you need to put something in and you can't come up with a patttern to match it, it may be time to just write the code and worry about a perfect solution later.
