Maybe that's unreasonable.

Here's a J expression which determines if value is _.

isIndeterminate=:3 :0"0
  rep=.2(3!:1)y
  typ=.256#.a.i.rep{~8+i.8
  if.8~:typ do.0 return.end.
  bit=.(+/\1 12 e.~i.64) </. ,(8$2)#:a.i._8{.rep
  (*./1{::bit) *. +./2{::bit
)

If you care about complex valued indeterminates, you could add above
the if. statement another statement reading:
  if.16=typ do.+./isIndeterminate+.y return.end.

But I doubt they exist in current versions of J:
   _.,1j1
0 1j1
