| Each real number is modeled as a Dedekind cut of $ \mathbb Q $ into two pieces. The axioms above say that $r$ is a $<_{\mathbb Q}$-complete set with no upper bound. We define the total order of the reals via $s<r\equiv s\subset r$, see [[Order structure of real numbers]]. | Each real number is modeled as a Dedekind cut of $ \mathbb Q $ into two pieces.
