Hi Stuck iaA,
That is my understanding too. But it is perhaps not the whole story. What puzzles me in particular is the FCOM and other Airbus documents saying that the side stick commands a load factor, and Figure 4 in C. Favre's paper (copied in the post linked in mm43's post above) that seems to indicate a special treatment of (commanded - actual) vertical load factor. That's why I wrote that the 'blend' with pitch rate is mainly important for the build-up phase of load factor, and perhaps less so for maintaining the commanded load factor in a steady-state pull-up maneuver.

I'm glad I managed to understand at least a bit of this stuff...
Big thanks!
While I couldn't fully comrehend the figure from Favre's paper (and can't get access to the paper itself), I understand that in steady state the load-factor may be dominant. That, however, is different from the basic C* algorithm (or at least my understanding of it). Isn't it?
Anyway, I guess some book-digging is on order...
