Alignment
Where a child sits within the extent its container offers it: an Alignment places a child across both axes of a Box, an Alignment.Horizontal across a Column, an Alignment.Vertical across a Row.
An alignment answers one question - given the child's extent and the extent available to it, how far from the top left of that extent does the child start. Column, Row and Box apply the one they are declared with to every child, and a child names its own through align on ColumnScope, RowScope or BoxScope.
