Still, we can't proof that Pi^Pi^Pi^Pi is an integer or not, since we don't know enough digits.

It's definitely not an integer seeing as it has a fractional component. Do you mean if it's rational or not?

No, we can't proof if its an integer or not. If you can proof it, you are up for a great career in mathematics: https://www.spektrum.de/kolumne/ist-pi-hoch-pi-hoch-pi-hoch-pi-eine-ganze-zahl/2203268
