existence of f (x) so defined and thereby, in virtue of Lemma 2, the universal nature<br />
of A if A is an s-hierarchical ordered group or an s-hierarchical ordered field. For<br />
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 />
No. (No, +,
