Where the base number itself is pi. It would be the first rational number after 0.
Decided to google it
" I think people are missing the point of the question. It's not "can you write pi in such a way that it terminates," it's "can pi be a rational number." Those are two different things.
Irrationality is not defined as "the number doesn't terminate." That's a property that irrational numbers have when you write numbers in an integer base, but it's not what makes a number irrational. There are plenty (an infinite number) of rational numbers that don't terminate. An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers (whole numbers).
Writing pi in base pi makes it "look like" a rational number, but it doesn't have the same properties as one. It's still not a ratio of two integers: the set of integers does not change when you use a different number base."

wow I know I am really bored when I actually google something...
What does a roman notation have to do with your question?In base pi how would you express this roman numeral: XIV?
Is there a base number system where pi is a rational number?
Short answer: no.Writing pi in base pi makes it "look like" a rational number, but it doesn't have the same properties as one. It's still not a ratio of two integers: the set of integers does not change when you use a different number base."
What does a roman notation have to do with your question?
Roman XIV is 14, isn't it easier to write 14 in your question?
Is it to make yourself more difficult to understand?
Short answer: no.
Do you know what is redundancy and why it's useful to get your message across?I actually thought that would be clearer than trying to define an arbitrary quantity by using the numerical code we are talking about. In base pi there would be no 1 or 4, so to ask what the expression 14 is clouds my ability to distiguish base ten value from the newly defined base pi value. The difference between roman numerals and base pi is much more quantifiable. Even tho roman numerals are still based on base 10 calculation.
And so?I tend to agree that the answer is no. But if thats the case, we have the structure of the universe and a very good desription of what it looks like and how it functions. The thing is that it fits my model.
Pi's value is quantifiable but you cant nail it down with the language in our math.

There's a general way of expressing and naming the common base numeral systems which you are familiar with asking questions about such systems.
You can call your 14 a:
14 (10) or 14 (dec) or 14 decimal
And you avoid wasting time and confusing anyone who participates.
And so?
So far the only non-redundant extension to what has been said is your observation that:
You didn't make it this far in school to learn about decimal system but you did advance enough to know about numeral systems in general which led you to asking about pi base system.Im sorry, i didnt make it that far in school, but it appears to me that you still havent grasp the question: In base pi how would you express this roman numeral: XIV? The question its self is to help the ponderer come to the conclusion that the symbols we use in base 10 calculation are too coherent to use in base pi, roman numerals are even less coherent than the integer system we use. I think the redundancies you are refering to are designed to explore the realative value of the quantities we place on these symbols.

I'm tempted to look up your curriculum to confirm that decimal system is explained in the first grade of mathematics in elementary school, but I know you aren't serious.
Decimal system is the first example of a numeral system, there's no way you haven't heard of it if you've heard of base pi and you fully understand what a numeral system or base pi mean.
So your argument is that arabic numerals are too coherent and therefore roman numerals should be used to allude to your point that decimal system is incompatible with the pi base system?
How would you explain the act of placing quantities on symbols?
Is english your primary language and do you sometimes find yourself using difficult words or concepts that you don't entirely understand?
logarithms
whole numbers are integers.
decimals are fractions of whole numbers.
this is why phi ratio is holistic.
any physical length can be a whole number thus phi can be the decimal of that length.
So a physical circle can become a whole number (one) and then proceed in logarithms.
14 is the ratio of 14 physical circle circumferences times pie (one).
log_pie^(n(pie))
n = 14
Can't any angle, sphere or circle be used to create or mean aynthing else?I think I can see where base pi could be used
What do you mean when saying "reducing or increasing entropy"?I guess I would say it would be reducing entropy.
Do you think you've used words or concepts you didn't entirely understand in this thread, where other, less misleading, terms could be used instead?English is my primary language and I think people who are not finding themselves in conversations that contain new "words" and "concepts", at least sometimes, are not challenging themselves.
