Theorem	noeta 27806*	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. 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.
