Natural Numbers Read in an Ordered Field Agree with the Canonical Embedding of the Rationals

In every ordered field, a natural number with zero read as a multiple of 1 is the image of that natural number under the canonical embedding of the rationals.

Statement

In the setting of The Integers and the Rational Numbers, with the Natural Numbers and the Integers Identified with Subsets of the Rationals, let FF be an ordered field, κF:Q→F\kappa_{F}:\mathbb{Q}\to F the canonical embedding, and n∈N0n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}.

The element nn of FF, read as in Commutative Rings, Fields and Ordered Fields: Standard Notation §numerals, is κF(n)\kappa_{F}(n), with nn read as a rational number as in The Integers and the Rational Numbers, with the Natural Numbers and the Integers Identified with Subsets of the Rationals §identification.
