For a totally ordered set , take real coefficient families whose support satisfies the maximum condition: every nonempty subset of the support has a largest index. Add coefficients pointwise and decide the sign from the largest nonzero coordinate. This defines an ordered Abelian group. For with its usual order, the maximum condition forces finite support. Some presentations reverse the index order and use a minimum instead; specify the convention when applying an embedding theorem.
