A very brief search recovered this likely connection between surreal numbers
and linear logic via combinatorial games and compact closed categories,
respectively: http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~gscruttw/publications/CGC.pdf

To contribute to your bullet points, I also wonder about an interpretation
of other intensional/complexity domains like algorithmic stability. In
particular, is there a nice extension of the theory to account for
robustness[♠] à la David Ackley? For example, where traditionally lambda
calculus is ill-equipped to distinguish the value of Qsort over Bubblesort
in time, lambda calculus is also ill-equipped to distinguish the value of
Bubblesort over Qsort in robustness.
