Definition:Major (Euclidean)

Definition
Let $a, b \in \R_{>0}$ in the forms:
 * $a = \dfrac \rho {\sqrt 2} \sqrt {1 + \dfrac k {\sqrt {1 + k^2} } }$
 * $b = \dfrac \rho {\sqrt 2} \sqrt {1 - \dfrac k {\sqrt {1 + k^2} } }$

where:
 * $\rho$ is a rational number
 * $k$ is a rational number whose square root is irrational.

Then $a + b$ is a major.
