I don't think there's always a "cut point" for Conway numbers S (surreals). For example, if the upper set is U = {x in S | x > all positive infinitesimals}, the the lower set (S - U) is L = (x in S | x <= some positive infinitesimal}. Then U has no minimum and L has no maximum. --Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rich writes:
