So, in summary, your function has various values of x for which it is "approximately periodic" ... If you are willing to make the even rougher assumption that sqrt(2) ≈ 1.5, then you see that it has an even shorter (smaller) "approximate fundamental period".
Or, if you wish to go in the other direction (i.e., less deviation from mathematical exactness), you can say sqrt(2) ≈ 1.4142 (or any other rational approximation), and then the "approximate fundamental period" will be much longer (larger).

Only if you make that a WAVY equal sign!
This all makes me so nervous.

Works for me.
