the case where A is an s-hierarchical ordered vector space, the universality of A is<br />

established by appealing to Lemma 2 in conjunction <strong>with</strong> the following result whose<br />

simple proof is left to the reader:<br />

PROPOSITION. Let K be an s-hierarchical orderedfield, f be the unique s-hierarchical<br />

mappingfrom K to No, and No be the multiplication in the s-hierarchical orderedfield<br />
