Alignments of random points can help you figure out a pattern in a group of things. For example, if you draw a bunch of dots on a piece of paper, you might notice that some of them form a line. This is an alignment of points - the points are randomly placed but when you look at them, you can see that they have lined up in a way that makes sense. Alignments of random points can help you find hidden patterns in data and understand the world around you better.
