Uniform structure induced by an absolute value

We build a uniform space structure on a commutative ring R equipped with an absolute value into a linear ordered field 𝕜. Of course in the case R is ℚ, ℝ or ℂ and 𝕜 = ℝ, we get the same thing as the metric space construction, and the general construction follows exactly the same path.
