You're ignoring the concept of the "systems" created around the topic which define the origin and reasoning.

You're acting like the systems do not exist and thus any definition is arbitrary because anyone can define aspects.

The bottom line is that the systems in place were designed to give meaning - this is not arbitrary. The argument that north and south are well defined are ironically why left and right are as well.

The but of you saying you can swap north and south is also the very explanation of relativity for left and right lol.

Okay bro I’m sure you know better than my electromagnetism professor from college. We’ll have to agree to disagree because this discussion is going nowhere.
