This paper takes another look at the intuitionistic real numbers from the viewpoint of point-free topology. Our analysis of the intuitionistic presentation of real numbers by the ternary spread leads to a unique representation of a real number called regular ideal. The notion of regular ideal is geometric, and hence there is an associated formal space of regular ideals. This provides us with a novel notion of point-free real numbers. As applications of this point-free notion, we give point-free proofs of the intermediate value theorem and Brouwer’s fixed-point theorem. These proofs make the finitary aspect of these theorems more explicit than their point-set counterparts that typically appeal to some choice principles.
