Abstract
Summary Surreal numbers, a fascinating mathematical concept introduced by John Conway, have attracted considerable interest due to their unique properties. In this article, we formalize the basic concept of surreal numbers close to the original Conway’s convention in the field of combinatorial game theory. We define surreal numbers with the pre-order in the Mizar system which satisfy the following condition: x ⩽ y iff Lx ≪ {y} Λ {x} ≪ Ry.
