## Intent
Define an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact.
Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to each
other explicitly, and it lets you vary their interaction independently.
![alt text](./etc/mediator_1.png "Mediator")
## Applicability
Use the Mediator pattern when
* a set of objects communicate in well-defined but complex ways. The resulting interdependencies are unstructured and difficult to understand
* reusing an object is difficult because it refers to and communicates with many other objects
* a behavior that's distributed between several classes should be customizable without a lot of subclassing
