+# The Complete Picture: allOf vs anyOf vs oneOf
+
+## The Three Composition Keywords - Finally Clear!
+
+### allOf = Required Composition (Must Match ALL)
+**allOf requires the object to be valid against ALL schemas simultaneously - it's a mandatory merge.**
+
+```yaml
+# allOf Example - Required Composition
+Employee:
+  allOf:
+    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Person'
+    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Worker'
+    - type: object
+      required: [employeeId]
+      properties:
+        employeeId:
+          type: string
+
+Person:
+  type: object
+  required: [name, age]
+  properties:
+    name:
+      type: string
+    age:
+      type: integer
+
+Worker:
+  type: object
+  required: [position, salary]
+  properties:
+    position:
+      type: string
+    salary:
+      type: number
+```
+
+**Valid allOf instance (MUST have all required fields):**
+```json
+{
+  "name": "John Doe",        // Required from Person
+  "age": 30,                 // Required from Person
+  "position": "Engineer",     // Required from Worker
+  "salary": 100000,          // Required from Worker
+  "employeeId": "EMP001"     // Required from inline schema
+}
+```
+
+**Correct Rust Implementation:**
+```rust
+// allOf: Struct with ALL required fields
+pub struct Employee {
+    // From Person (required)
+    pub name: String,
+    pub age: i32,
+
+    // From Worker (required)
+    pub position: String,
+    pub salary: f64,
+
+    // From inline schema (required)
+    pub employee_id: String,
+}
+```
+
+### anyOf = Optional Composition (Match ONE OR MORE)
+**anyOf is about composing a new object from multiple schemas that can all be valid simultaneously.**
+
+```yaml
+# anyOf Example - Object Composition
+PersonWithEmployment:
+  anyOf:
+    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/PersonalInfo'
+    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/EmploymentInfo'
+    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/EducationInfo'
+
+# Components
+PersonalInfo:
+  type: object
+  properties:
+    name:
+      type: string
+    age:
+      type: integer
+
+EmploymentInfo:
+  type: object
+  properties:
+    company:
+      type: string
+    position:
+      type: string
+
+EducationInfo:
+  type: object
+  properties:
+    degree:
+      type: string
+    university:
+      type: string
+```
+
+**Valid anyOf instance (combines all three):**
+```json
+{
+  "name": "John Doe",
+  "age": 30,
+  "company": "TechCorp",
+  "position": "Engineer",
+  "degree": "MS Computer Science",
+  "university": "MIT"
+}
+```
+
+This object is valid against PersonalInfo AND EmploymentInfo AND EducationInfo simultaneously!
+
+### oneOf = Choice (Either/Or)
+**oneOf is about choosing exactly one option from mutually exclusive alternatives.**
+
+```yaml
+# oneOf Example - Mutually Exclusive Choice
+PaymentMethod:
+  oneOf:
+    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/CreditCard'
+    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/BankTransfer'
+    - $ref: '#/components/schemas/PayPal'
+
+# Components with discriminating required fields
+CreditCard:
+  type: object
+  required: [cardNumber, cvv]
+  properties:
+    cardNumber:
+      type: string
+    cvv:
+      type: string
+
+BankTransfer:
+  type: object
+  required: [accountNumber, routingNumber]
+  properties:
+    accountNumber:
+      type: string
+    routingNumber:
+      type: string
+
+PayPal:
+  type: object
+  required: [paypalEmail]
+  properties:
+    paypalEmail:
+      type: string
+```
+
+**Valid oneOf instance (exactly one):**
+```json
+{
+  "cardNumber": "1234-5678-9012-3456",
+  "cvv": "123"
+}
+```
+
+## The Fundamental Difference
+
+### anyOf = Additive/Compositional (AND logic)
+- **Purpose**: Combine properties from multiple schemas
+- **Validation**: Can validate against multiple schemas
+- **Use Case**: Mixins, traits, optional feature sets
+- **Think**: "This object can have properties from schema A AND schema B AND schema C"
+
+### oneOf = Selective/Exclusive (XOR logic)
+- **Purpose**: Choose one schema from alternatives
+- **Validation**: Must validate against exactly one schema
+- **Use Case**: Polymorphic types, variant records
+- **Think**: "This object is EITHER type A OR type B OR type C"
+
+## What This Means for Implementations
+
+### Correct anyOf Implementation (Composition)
+
+```rust
+// CORRECT: Struct that can compose multiple schemas
+pub struct PersonWithEmployment {
+    // From PersonalInfo
+    pub name: Option<String>,
+    pub age: Option<i32>,
+
+    // From EmploymentInfo
+    pub company: Option<String>,
+    pub position: Option<String>,
+
+    // From EducationInfo
+    pub degree: Option<String>,
+    pub university: Option<String>,
+}
+```
+
+### Current (Wrong) anyOf Implementation in Most Generators
+
+```rust
+// WRONG: Treats anyOf like oneOf (choice instead of composition)
+pub enum PersonWithEmployment {
+    PersonalInfo(PersonalInfo),    // Wrong! Can only be one
+    EmploymentInfo(EmploymentInfo), // Should be able to combine
+    EducationInfo(EducationInfo),   // All three simultaneously
+}
+```
+
+## Real-World Example: API Response
+
+```yaml
+# anyOf for composition - response can have data AND/OR errors AND/OR warnings
+ApiResponse:
+  anyOf:
+    - type: object
+      properties:
+        data:
+          type: object
+    - type: object
+      properties:
+        errors:
+          type: array
+          items:
+            type: string
+    - type: object
+      properties:
+        warnings:
+          type: array
+          items:
+            type: string
+```
+
+**Valid response (has all three):**
+```json
+{
+  "data": { "id": 123, "name": "Success" },
+  "errors": [],
+  "warnings": ["Deprecated endpoint"]
+}
+```
+
+## The Problem with Current Implementations
+
+Most generators (except Python and our new Rust approach) treat anyOf like oneOf:
+
+| Generator | anyOf Implementation | Correct? |
+|-----------|---------------------|----------|
+| TypeScript | Union type `A \| B` | ❌ No - can't compose |
+| Java | Abstract class with one active | ❌ No - can't compose |
+| Old Rust | Enum (one variant) | ❌ No - can't compose |
+| Python | Validates all, keeps track | ✅ Yes - true composition |
+| New Rust | Struct with optional fields | ✅ Yes - true composition |
+
+## The Complete Summary
+
+### The Three Keywords - Correct Semantics
+
+| Keyword | Semantics | Validation | Correct Implementation | Logic Type |
+|---------|-----------|------------|------------------------|------------|
+| **allOf** | Required composition | Must match ALL schemas | Struct with all required fields merged | AND (mandatory) |
+| **anyOf** | Optional composition | Must match ONE OR MORE schemas | Struct with optional fields from all schemas | OR (inclusive) |
+| **oneOf** | Exclusive choice | Must match EXACTLY ONE schema | Enum with variants | XOR (exclusive) |
+
+### Correct Rust Implementations
+
+```rust
+// allOf: Everything required
+pub struct FullEmployee {
+    pub name: String,           // Required from Person
+    pub age: i32,               // Required from Person
+    pub position: String,       // Required from Worker
+    pub salary: f64,            // Required from Worker
+    pub employee_id: String,    // Required from additional
+}
+
+// anyOf: Optional composition
+pub struct FlexibleEmployee {
+    pub name: Option<String>,       // Can have Person fields
+    pub age: Option<i32>,           
+    pub position: Option<String>,   // Can have Worker fields
+    pub salary: Option<f64>,        
+    pub employee_id: Option<String>, // Can have additional fields
+    // Can have any combination!
+}
+
+// oneOf: Exclusive choice
+pub enum EmployeeType {
+    Contractor(Contractor),  // Either contractor
+    FullTime(FullTime),     // OR full-time
+    Intern(Intern),         // OR intern
+    // Exactly one!
+}
+```
+
+### The Key Insight
+
+You've identified the fundamental pattern:
+
+| | Composition? | Required? | Result Type |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **allOf** | ✅ Yes | ✅ All fields required | Merged struct |
+| **anyOf** | ✅ Yes | ❌ Fields optional | Struct with options |
+| **oneOf** | ❌ No | N/A (choice) | Enum/Union |
+
+### Why This Matters
+
+Most generators get anyOf wrong because they treat it as a choice (like oneOf) instead of composition:
+- **Wrong**: anyOf as enum/union (can only have one)
+- **Right**: anyOf as struct with optional fields (can have multiple)
+
+Your understanding is correct:
+- **allOf** = "You must be ALL of these things"
+- **anyOf** = "You can be ANY combination of these things"
+- **oneOf** = "You must be EXACTLY ONE of these things"
+
+## Real-World Bug Example
+
+Just discovered this while working with wing328's test case. The old Rust generator would literally generate broken code for this anyOf:
+
+```yaml
+ModelIdentifier:
+  anyOf:
+    - type: string
+    - type: string
+      enum: [gpt-4, gpt-3.5-turbo]
+```
+
+Old generator output:
+```rust
+pub enum ModelIdentifier {
+    String(String),  // Variant 1
+    String(String),  // Variant 2 - DUPLICATE NAME! Won't compile!
+}
+```
+
+This is what happens when you treat anyOf (composition) as oneOf (choice) - you get nonsensical code. The correct approach generates a struct where both can coexist.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+You're absolutely right:
+- **allOf** = Required composition (struct with required fields)
+- **anyOf** = Optional composition (struct with optional fields)
+- **oneOf** = Exclusive choice (enum)
+
+Most implementations conflate anyOf with oneOf, missing that anyOf is about composition, not choice!
