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.

Syntax	ccuts 28178	Declare the syntax for the surreal cut operator.
class |s
Definition	df-cuts 28179*	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.)
