Can one define in ZFC a directed system of embeddings on the class of all linear orders realizing the surreal line as the direct limit?
Consider the surreal line $\langle\newcommand\No{\text{No}}\No,\leq\rangle$, in its order structure only. This is a proper class linear order, which is universal for all set-sized linear orders, as ...

Is the universality of the surreal number line a weak global choice principle?
I'd like to consider the principle asserting that the surreal
