Linear functionals bounded below on the nonnegative cone #

Over a linearly ordered field 𝕜, the nonnegative elements of an ordered 𝕜-module are a cone: they are stable under multiplication by nonnegative scalars. A linear functional that is bounded below on this cone is therefore nonnegative on it, since a negative value at w would be scaled below any bound along the ray through w.

A linear functional on an ordered module over a linearly ordered field that is bounded below on the nonnegative elements is nonnegative on them.
