Those represent quadratic irrationals, that is, numbers built from integers by addittion, multiplication, division, and square root, don't they? I once attempted to write (non-J) code that does computations on such numbers, but represented as such symbolic formulae built from these operations, not continued fractions. I abandonned it (though I might later try to develop it more) and I'm not sure if it gets into an infinite loop or is just really slow. The code is unoptimized, I wrote the bare minimum that I think is enough to make it run in finite time for all cases. I can send it if you're interested.
