Groups and Vector Spaces
If the component sets are ordered groups then the result is a non-Archimedean group, because e.g. n(0,1) < (1,0) for all n.
If the component sets are ordered vector spaces over R (in particular just R), then the result is also an ordered vector space.

Famous quotes containing the words groups and/or spaces:
“Under weak government, in a wide, thinly populated country, in the struggle against the raw natural environment and with the free play of economic forces, unified social groups become the transmitters of culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Though there were numerous vessels at this great distance in the horizon on every side, yet the vast spaces between them, like the spaces between the stars,—far as they were distant from us, so were they from one another,—nay, some were twice as far from each other as from us,—impressed us with a sense of the immensity of the ocean, the “unfruitful ocean,” as it has been called, and we could see what proportion man and his works bear to the globe.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
