Archie, before I can comment you need to answer the following
questions about your ring of AP-adics, henceforth called AP.
1) Is the hypothesized ring AP a (totally) ordered ring, i.e.
does AP have a subset P of "positives", closed under + and *,
with every elt either positive (in P), negative (in -P) or 0 ?
2) Are the positive elements P well-ordered, i.e. does every
nonempty subset of P have a least element?
Lurkers please refrain from commenting until AP responds.
