Theorem	noeta 27662*	The full-eta axiom for the surreal numbers. This is the single most important property of the surreals. It says that, given two sets of surreals such that one comes completely before the other, there is a surreal lying strictly between the two. Furthermore, if the birthdays of members of 𝐴 and 𝐵 are strictly bounded above by 𝑂, then 𝑂 non-strictly bounds the separator. Axiom FE of [Alling] p. 185. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 9-Aug-2024.)

15.3  Conway cut representation In [Conway] surreal numbers are represented as equivalence classes of cuts of previously defined surreal numbers. This is complicated to handle in ZFC without classes so we do not make it our definition. However, we can define a cut operator on surreals that behaves similarly. We introduce such an operator in this section and use it to define all surreals hearafter.
