In this paper, I present the properties and structures of Dedekind $ \sigma $-complete directed partially ordered rings and algebras over $ \mathbb{R} $. Under certain conditions, such as property P1, chain conditions on convex ideals, and strong Archimedean, structures are isomorphic to the real number field $ \mathbb{R} $ with the usual total order or finite product or subdirect product of $ \mathbb{R} $.
