Abstract: We construct an infinite tower of covering spaces over the configuration space of n1 distinct non-zero points in the complex plane. This results in an action of the braid group mathbbBn on the set of n-adic integers mathbbZn for all natural numbers ngeq2. We study some of the properties of these actions such as continuity and transitivity. The construction of the actions involves a new way of associating to any braid B an infinite sequence of braids, whose braid types are invariants of B. We present computations for the cases of n=2 and n=3 and use these to show that an infinite family of braids close to real algebraic links, i.e., links of isolated singularities of real polynomials mathbbR4omathbbR2.
