A partially ordered ring (cf. Partially ordered set) which is a subdirect sum of totally ordered rings (cf. Totally ordered set). Each element of a vector ring is a vector

with coordinates in , and if and only if each . If the partial order of is an intersection of total orders, will be a vector ring, and itself, provided with various linear extensions of its partial order, may be taken as .
