"embedding of one view into a model" is a self contradiction.

The model provides data "1, 2, 3, 4...". The data makes no assumptions how
it will be displayed, or whether it will be displayed at all.

The view imports the model. So it knows the details of the model (array,
record, list, double-linked-list, DAG, or any other fancy structure).
However, there is a firm assumption that no details about the display go
into the model. The model can only provide the numbers, but no details
about the display.

The Model-View separayion means the separation of concerns. The model can
calculate. The view can display the results of calculations.

Your question is breaking the separation. You are trying to put the
imported concerns back into the importee. This has to lead to circular
data structures. Hence, it is not implementable.
