Jan 2 at 20:51 comment added SebbyIsSwagAndFrutigerAero @SidharthGhosal So that could be written using set theory $\left\{ \left\{ \Re(a+bi)_L | \Re(a+bi)_R \right\}, \left\{ \Im(a+bi)_L | \Im(a+bi)_R \right\} \right\}$
Sep 2, 2023 at 0:44 comment added Joel David Hamkins Of course we can do that, but what I was wondering is whether we can find a collection of Conway games, just as they are (not pairs of games or what have you), which admit a field structure making them the surreal complex numbers.
Sep 2, 2023 at 0:28 comment added Sidharth Ghoshal Why is it not sufficient to play Conway’s game in the real and imaginary parts separately to represent the whole field? / is that just considered uninteresting? And something is sought which isn’t playing 2 games at once but a single game.
Sep 1, 2023 at 21:52 comment added SebbyIsSwagAndFrutigerAero Btw I've been experimenting with the "surquaternions" which are a quaternionic extension to the surreals (can be written as $\operatorname{No}[i, j]$, or using Alec Rhea 's notation $\operatorname{N_o}[i, j]$
