What is the goal?

Once upon a time, A painter decided to draw some points on a large piece of paper. But it was not like regular ones. When he drew some points, he started getting tired. He found it boring. He decided to give each point a name. Cool! It was more interesting. He continued drawing points. All the points were similar the only difference was their position in that sheet. So each point were uniquely specified by its x and y coordinates. After painting a millions of points just again he found it boring. It was like a dead dotted piece of sheet! To get rid of that death condition he added a feature. He letted points to move. He said: "Each of you go and live on this paper. you can move. you can make clusters. you can delete others or create others. you can find others. you can fall in love with others. you can move. and you can decide on your self where you want to move. you can be a good point and let other points to be happy or you can be a bad point and disappoint me. But this is what I have maid and no body is going to change it". He said that. Then he left.
Nowadays, Some times he comes back to take a look to see what's going on there. All the points are bored, they are waiting for a new point to change the conditions. They think there will be a day that a point will make all the clusters one. And will make all the points happy. No one knows about that ones coordinates.
But what was the painters goal? Maybe he prefered a dotted paper to a plain one. Maybe he had just that paper. Maybe he wanted to do something fair, and the only solution was to draw points. Maybe he was looking to a new life.
