Definition df-cuts 28033

Description: Define the cut operator on surreal numbers. This operator, which Conway takes as the primitive operator over surreals, picks the surreal lying between two sets of surreals of minimal birthday. Definition from [Gonshor] p. 7. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 7-Dec-2021.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
