 Why did we chose the non-conventional naming scheme in the first place? Well, we obviously consider ours to be a better one overall and here is why.
-"Entity" is a much broader term, that is usually reserved for some general-purpose objects and is quite useful as a general documentation term. On the other hand the word "Subject" is better associated with something that is not autonomous by its own and is actually dependent, subordinate. The word "system" is also so much broader and could denote almost anything, e.g. particle system, save/load system, system library, etc. "Mechanic" is clearly something very deeply related to the game ticking and the game design as a whole. As of "component" – this is basically already reserved by Unreal Engine [[ue>ProgrammingAndScripting/ProgrammingWithCPP/UnrealArchitecture/Actors/Components|itself]]. "Detail"/"Trait" are free to use and are quite obvious to be Parts of something (i.e. Subjects).

-It may be hard to remember at first, but you'll get used to it and the logic behind the terms will eventually become your own. Just to sum this all up, the "Entity Component System" is basically transformed into the "Subject Part Mechanic". Please, get back to this article from time to time if you get lost.

+As of "component" – this is basically already reserved by Unreal Engine [[ue>components-in-unreal-engine/|itself]]. "Detail"/"Trait" are free to use and are quite obvious to be Components of something (i.e. Subjects). We still use the Component term when referring to both Traits and Details at the same time.
