alt Hacker NewsIf a number system has a transcendental number as its base, would these numbers still be called transcendental in that number system?

I think the elements of the base need to be enumerable (proof needed but it feels natural), and transcendental numbers are not enumerable (proof also needed).

Yes. A number is transcendental if it's not the root of a polynomial with integer coefficients; that's completely independent of how you represent it.
