54742 is an arbitrary number.

Its only relevance is in its recurrence on every single pillar-like object.

A repeating number, demarking a commonality between the pillars that, upon closer inspection,

differ from one another ever so slightly.

The number acts as a combining factor between non-identical serial elements.

The pillars set a grid.

A grid, within and through which all arbitrarily placed elements find a seemingly deliberate locality.

The grid sets the common ground.

In it, an organized system of associative properties between the individual elements is created.

The grid is a systematic structure, pleasing to the eye and calming for the mind.

Within the grid, everything makes sense.
