It is not arbitrary at all.If every atom were represented in the CR then several things would be true. 1st we the readers would in our several experiences with the CR have seen these atoms represented. All that we have seen are full objects represented. 2nd that means that objects view themselves as a collection of such particle which leads to the 3rd assumption which is that nothing of the CR could be forged,soulcasted or otherwise changed because at the present no one that we know of is aware of particles and the like thus there would be no way for them to change the reality of the object.
