The geometric definition of an ordered field:
an ordered local ring where for all elements , is invertible or
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.
