I’m not sure you understand what “arbitrary” means.

They are not random, but what is the rationale?
Suppose there exists a radio station, “WACD 902 AM, The Sturge”. The number represents the frequency of the radio wave in megahertz. Now why did they choose that specific frequency? Did they have a specific preference for that number? Or more likely, they just chose whatever was available.
