0^0

 The same thing in math, you do in language. You don't go by the literal equation alone, but what it applies to in the real world. That's why context always matters. I learned that in High School, I don't know how we forgot it. It's the same thing for interpretation, you can have the exact same sentence mean a thousand things. You don't take things in isolation, but draw them through their contexts, what something actually means. It's the same in math, I'd suppose, if you needed 0^0 to be indeterminate, 1 or undefined, that's what you'd do in that specific instance, based on the geometry of what you were using. As it'd relate to that specific shape.
