Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain arrangement as a grouped unit, relay examples from floral design and classification, describe how groupings are composed, and distinguish this sense from the act of arranging, musical arrangements and agreements.
An orderly grouping of things or persons considered as a unit, the result of arranging, from a bouquet, corsage, posy or nosegay of flowers and a daisy chain of linked blossoms, to a taxonomic order of bacteria and other groupings organised for a purpose; the sense concerns the grouped result rather than the act of arranging, the musical arrangement of a piece or a business arrangement.
What it is for: Presenting or classifying things as a unit.
It can be explain the sense; relay examples; describe composition; distinguish other senses.
