Good morning,

I am looking for (I'm going to call it) 'fundamental concepts' and I am
making the assumption that there is some basic agreed level of
definition of these concepts so we don't end up in Physics and Chemistry.

I am assuming this level is arbitrary and we can agree with it.

My criteria for 'fundamental concept' is that it cannot be replaced by a
semantic net-let that crosses the agreed level.

Have you looked at Natural Semantic Metalanguage?  Philosophically it's vulnerable to various critiques but it might be useful for your purposes.
