How would one go about operationally defining radial and
circumferential distances in the vicinity of a black hole? Does it
mean something to be "1 cm above the horizon"?

Event horizons violate motion laws of matter and energy laws of light.

With calculus. How would you calculate the surface area of a sphere? Same
method.

And now a question...

How much mold could a slime mold mold if a slime mold could mold slime?
