Abstract
This paper catalogues a variety of examples concerning a type of function of a -adic integer variable defined by a formal series expression we have dubbed "-series". These series exhibit a new, previously undocumented form of point-wise convergence, one where the topology in which the limit of a sequence of functions converges depends on the point at which the sequence is evaluated. In a manner comparable to the adele ring of a number field, functions defined by -series require considering different metric completions of an underlying field in order to be properly understood.
