COMMENTS
The rectangle R whose shape (i.e., length/width) is sqrt(1+x+sqrt(1+2x)), where x=sqrt(2/3), can be partitioned into rectangles of shapes sqrt(2) and sqrt(3) in a manner that matches the periodic continued fraction [sqrt(2), sqrt(3), sqrt(2), sqrt(3),...]. R can also be partitioned into squares so as to match the nonperiodic continued fraction [1,1,5,1,6,1,5,1,1,...] at A190185. For details, see A188635.
