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)

Then what’s the point of even calling it arbitrary? If it covers everything, then there’s no reason for the word.
