The canonical embedding of the rationals into an ordered field is the unique map from the rationals preserving sums, products and the unit.
In the setting of The Integers and the Rational Numbers, with the Natural Numbers and the Integers Identified with Subsets of the Rationals, let , with , , , and , be an ordered field.
The canonical embedding of into is the map of The Rational Numbers Embed in Exactly One Way into Every Ordered Field §unique, which is an injective homomorphism of ordered fields by The Rational Numbers Embed in Exactly One Way into Every Ordered Field §homomorphism and The Rational Numbers Embed in Exactly One Way into Every Ordered Field §injective.
