Explained

Like all messages, <osc> will create a Max-message that exits at the left outlet of the QueScript Max-object. With the above example it would be a list that looks like this:

osc default /address/pattern ramp 0.
osc master /animation/pattern executed

(if the above animation has just started).

It is up to the implementing programmer to decide what to do with it. It is intended to send it to a 'route' - object to separate the 'osc' from the other messages and then to pass it to a second 'route' to send via UDP it to different servers/ports, where '/address/pattern' is interpreted as the osc address-pattern.
