That’s using numbers to define it.

Yes, five exists even if fingers on hands do not, and yet the fingers on a hand are still a physical manifestation of five. Much of how we explain intangible concepts like numbers is done by finding their inherent representation in tangible items. You can semantically argue all day whether or not this truly "defines" the number, but it is a true representation of the quantitative concept.

Yes, 5 is a number. So is 732. Every number is unique. Provide a definition that is unique to 5.

I am a physical manifestation of a man, but I am not the definition of “man.”

It’s not semantics. You provided an example of something that consists of 5 things when I asked you to define what 5 actually is without using 5.

How many stars?

How do you describe any number without using its function? They're numeric placeholders.
