The conjecture that both bases are transcendental in the integer-power equation

Let T,RR+T,R\in\mathbb{R}^+ satisfy TR=RT=NNT^R=R^T=N\in\mathbb{N} and TRT\neq R. Suppose N16N\neq 16, so that at least one of TT and RR is transcendental. Both-bases transcendence conjecture. Both TT and RR are transcendental. This strengthens the preceding proposition and corollary, which establish only that at least one of the two numbers is transcendental when N16N\neq 16.
