How do you define the number one without using something else that isn’t defined by the number one?

I guess 0^0 is 1… hmm… but then what is zero not defined by zero? 1-1. But then that’s still circular…

The digit 1 represents the quantity of something (an item). It is the minimum quantity of whole items but greater than the absence of the item.
How'd I do?
