👉 Minus computing, also known as negative computing or negative computation, is a theoretical concept that involves performing computations in reverse order or using negative values to represent positive quantities. Traditionally, computers use binary arithmetic, where operations are based on powers of two (0s and 1s) to perform calculations. However, in minus computing, the opposite is applied: operations are designed to simulate subtraction by using addition and negation. For example, to compute \(a - b\), one might add \(-(b)\) to \(a\). This approach can offer unique computational advantages, such as potentially reducing energy consumption and simplifying certain types of hardware designs, though practical implementations remain largely theoretical and experimental.
