I'm for that they're mutually constructed as the complete ordered
field of Eudoxus/Cauchy/Dedekind and also as a partially ordered ring
a la Bishop and Cheng (strong constructivists), with between the two
forms a rather restricted, but existent, transfer principle.
Besides Archimedes, and, say, Newton's first fluxions or Leibniz'
infinitesimals: where do we find the infinitesimals in natural
theoretical order?
