that’s not true. there are things that are not definitions. like my bed for instance, there are aspects that are arbitrary (my personal preferences, design choices, etc) and aspects that are not arbitrary (its physical form that exists beyond definition)
just because it has a reason doesn’t make it not arbitrary. you can ultimately come up with a reason for all arbitrary decisions
Do you not understand what the word arbitrary means?…
maybe you’re the one who doesn’t understand the ramifications of its meaning
Is there a way to distinguish between arbitrary and non-arbitrary? Or is literally everything ever arbitrary?
literally every definition ever is arbitrary
Then what’s the point of even calling it arbitrary? If it covers everything, then there’s no reason for the word.
