Option sorts

We refine the surreal numbers by parametrizing them by "option sorts", which are predicates on the types that index the options. A surreal number with given option sorts "hereditarily" has all options parametrized by types belonging to that sort.

Definition OptionSort@{i} := Type@{i} Type@{i} Type@{i}.
Class InSort (S : OptionSort@{i}) (I J : Type@{i})
  := insort : S I J.

The surreal numbers use a lot of universes. We include some universe annotations here and there to reduce the number of overall universe parameters from an unmanageable number to a slightly less unmanageable number. This improves performance significantly. We also use abstract and Qed whenever possible, for the same reason.

Games first

Since Coq doesn't support inductive-inductive types natively, we have to hack a bit. Inspired by Conway, we define Games to be constructed by the point-constructor of No but without the hypothesis on inequality of options. Then we define the inequalities as a mutual inductive family over Game, and put an inductive predicate on Game characterizing those that are Numbers. (This is roughly a standard technique described by Fredrik Nordvall Forsberg for reducing induction-induction to parametrized induction.) We then proceed to add axioms for the path-constructors of No.
It should be emphasized that this is *not* currently a correct higher inductive-inductive definition of games; these "games" are only being used inside this module as a trick to produce No in a way that computes on the point-constructor. It should be possible to make a higher inductive-inductive definition of games, but this is not it.

We call these "general surreal numbers" since they are parametrized by an option sort.

As usual for HITs implemented with Private Inductive, we will define No_ind inside this module using a fixpoint over No, thereby obtaining a judgmental computation rule for the point-constructor No_cut, and then assert the other computation rules as axioms. In this case, the relevant other rules are the preservation of inequalities.
However, it turns out that in defining No_cut we already need to know that it preserves inequalities. Since this is eventually an axiom anyway, we could just assert it with admit in the proof. However, if we did this then the admit would not be *judgmentally* equal to the axiom No_ind_lt that we assert afterwards. Instead, we make use of the fact that admit is essentially by definition match proof_admitted with end for a global axiom proof_admitted : Empty, so that if we use the same admit both inside the definition of No_ind and in asserting No_ind_lt as an axiom, they will be the same term judgmentally.
Finally, for conceptual isolation, and so as not to depend on the particular implementation of admit, we use local copies of Empty and proof_admitted. These were defined at the start of the Section, because otherwise they depend on six universe variables.
Technically, we induct over the inductive predicate witnessing Numberhood of games. We prove the "induction step" separately to improve performance, possibly by preventing bare fixs from appearing upon simplification.

Sometimes it's convenient to have all three parts of No_ind in one package, so that we only have to verify the hypotheses once.

      ( (x y : GenNo) (p : x < y), dlt x y p (f x) (f y)) }
      := ( No_ind ; (No_ind_le , No_ind_lt) ).

It's also sometimes convenient to have just the inequality parts together.
    Definition No_ind_le_lt (x y : GenNo)
    : ( (p : x y), dle x y p (No_ind x) (No_ind y)) ×
      ( (p : x < y), dlt x y p (No_ind x) (No_ind y))

"One-line proofs"

When we want to do induction on several variables at once, we have to be careful to do them in the right order. This tactic does that, by calling itself recursively (although it doesn't choose useful names for all the hypotheses it introduces). We have to define this here outside of all sections so that it will be visible globally.

These computation laws hold definitionally, but it takes Coq a little while to verify that. Thus, we prove them once and then rewrite along them later, so we don't have to do the verification every time.

Changing option sorts

There is of course a "maximal" option sort, which defines "the" surreal numbers as in the book.

Definition MaxSort : OptionSort := fun _ _Unit.
Definition No : Type := GenNo MaxSort.

This instance should be the one found by default, so that cuts live in No unless otherwise specified. Thus, all other global instances of InSort should be declared with higher priority.
Global Instance insort_maxsort {L R : Type}
  : InSort MaxSort L R | 0
  := tt.

Furthermore, every other kind of surreal number *embeds* into the maximal ones. So the other kinds of surreal numbers are really just subsets of the usual set of surreal numbers; but I don't know of a good way to define them except as their own HIITs.

Ordinals

The type of "plump ordinals" can be identified with surreal numbers that hereditarily have no right options.
Definition OrdSort : OptionSort := fun L R¬R.
Definition POrd := GenNo OrdSort.
Global Instance insort_ordsort {L : Type}
  : InSort OrdSort L Empty | 100
  := idmap.

Decidable options

A particularly interesting option sort restricts L and R to be decidable, i.e. either inhabited or empty.
Definition DecSort : OptionSort
  := fun L RDecidable L × Decidable R.
Definition DecNo : Type := GenNo DecSort.

Global Instance insort_decsort {L R : Type}
         {dl : Decidable L} {dr : Decidable R}
  : InSort DecSort L R | 100
  := (dl , dr).

Perhaps surprisingly, this is not a restriction at all! Any surreal number can be presented by a cut in which all the option sorts are hereditarily decidable. The basic idea is that we can always add a "sufficiently large" right option and a "sufficiently small" left option in order to make both families of options inhabited without changing the value of the cut, but the details are a bit tricky.

Definition equiv_DecNo_raise `{Univalence}
  : DecNo <~> No
  := Build_Equiv _ _ No_raise _.

Note that this does not extend to other sorts. For instance, it is *not* true that any plump ordinal is equal to a cut whose types of left and right options are respectively hereditarily decidable and hereditarily empty. In particular, when making the type of left options inhabited, we have to use surreals whose type of right options is also inhabited. For instance, {{ fun _:P zero | Empty_rec // rempty_cut }}, for a proposition P, is a plump ordinal, but to make its left options inhabited we have to use a negative surreal, which is not itself a plump ordinal.
