I'm confused by how you could specify a transcendental number using a finite sequence of operations. It's sort of in the very definition of transcendental numbers that you can't.

You could just write down a Turing machine.

That captures all of the transcendentals we care about. The remainder (to be fair, almost all of them) aren't computable at all, even in principle.
