Proof in constructive mathematics that the principal square root function exists in any Cauchy complete Archimedean ordered field
@Gro-Tsen in type theory one could directly construct the initial Cauchy complete Archimedean ordered field: etheses.bham.ac.uk/id/eprint/10411/7/Booij2020PhD.pdf

@FrançoisG.Dorais According to mathoverflow.net/questions/302037/… the principle of unique choice should be valid in my variety of constructivism.

Constructing ordered fields with lattice structure from ordered fields without lattice structure, and vice versa, in constructive mathematics
Minor question, which I probably should have made it clear in the questions above, and in my original reference request, but are the constructive ordered fields here Heyting fields, with respect to the canonical tight apartness relation defined by $a \# b := a \lt b \vee b \lt a$? Other definition of fields do exist which are not Heyting, such as the residue fields from Peter Johnstone's Rings, Fields, and Spectra.

Proper definition of ordered field in constructive mathematics
and in constructive mathematics, the join $\max$ and the meet $\min$ are well defined binary operations in the Cauchy real numbers and the Dedekind real numbers, but this follows not from the order structure on the Cauchy or Dedekind real numbers, but from the construction of the Cauchy and Dedekind real numbers in terms of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers and Dedekind cuts respectively.

Proper definition of ordered field in constructive mathematics
The issue isn't whether $\leq$ is a total order on the field $K$, but whether every pair of element of $K$ has a join and a meet, which is a weaker condition than $\leq$ being a total order. In the two sources above, the join is written as $\max$ and the meet is written as $\min$, even though $\leq$ is not a total order.
