  "abstract": "Ostrowski's theorem partitions all non-trivial completions of Q into exactly one Archimedean completion (R, the ∞-place) and infinitely many non-Archimedean completions (Q_p for each prime p).

This paper expands the v1.0 taxonomy of measure-theoretic artifacts with three new contributions: (1) a formal definition of measure-theoretic artifact — a structure S is a measure-theoretic artifact of the ∞-place if (i) S depends essentially on Archimedean properties and (ii) S lacks a canonical analog or acquires qualitatively different properties under at least one p-adic completion; (2) the reframing of the measurement problem as a completion problem — the adelic state projects onto a single completion when coupled to a place-specific apparatus, and measurement is a place-crossing event; (3) the identification of UV and IR divergences in quantum field theory as measure-theoretic artifacts — p-adic geometry provides natural UV cutoffs [...]",
