There are seven so called "base units" defined in the SI; meter, second, mol, ampere, kelvin, candela and kilogram [1].

Of these, mole and kilogram are dependent of the kilogram.

The NIST chart is interesting. I'm surprised that charge is defined in terms of current, rather than the other way around.

Did you make a typo? While it's technically true that the kilogram is defined by the definition of the kilogram, I just wanted to make sure.

Not a typo, but maybe a bit vague. I meant to say that the SI units both are dependant on the real world kilogram object.
