Theorem	noeta 27707*	The full-eta axiom for the surreal numbers. This is the single most important property of the surreals.

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.
