Definition:Apotome/Sixth Apotome

Definition
Let $a, b \in \R_{>0}$ be two (strictly) positive real numbers such that $a - b$ is an apotome.

Then $a - b$ is a sixth apotome :
 * $(1): \quad a \notin \Q$
 * $(2): \quad b \notin \Q$
 * $(3): \quad \dfrac {\sqrt {a^2 - b^2}} a \notin \Q$

where $\Q$ denotes the set of rational numbers.
