The geometric definition of an ordered field:

  • an ordered local ring RR where for all elements xRx \in R, xx is invertible or x=0x = 0

  • equivalently, an ordered local ring which satisfies trichotomy.

The limited principle of omniscience implies that the discrete (i.e. Cauchy, Escardo-Simpson, decidable Dedekind) real numbers are the terminal such an ordered field.

More importantly, it implies that every pointwise continuous function is uniformly continuous via the lesser limited principle of omniscience.
