I always thought that 2 was defined as 1 + 1, where 1 is the unity symbol and + is the addition symbol.... you should know these things...
Now the concept of 1 is something different.... but I leave it to you to define 1.
Where I am going with this is that in every field that has a logical basis we seem to have to start with some assumptions that we deem as acceptable without proof. No one can prove these assumptions to be true but we accept then as true because they seem obvious based on some inherent knowledge or wisdom, instictive, intuitive , common sense whatever we want to call it. The acceptance of it being outside the logical process we are about to build on it. They are so obvious that no one ever denies them. once I establish I may be able to play with it.
Also I would suggest that Science Theory that rely on us accepting that something exists that has no volume and infinite density is a little bit "magical" I do not mean it is wrong but calling something magical does not invalidate it. Magical is another way to say unexplainable.
