(1 + (-1)) + (2 + (-2)) + (3 + (-3)) + ... + (∞ + (-∞))  =  0 + 0 + 0 + ... + 0  =  0

Zero is the largest value in the universe. Everything is Zero. It encompasses the sum of both positive and negative infinities, which includes all equal positive and negative values. Thinking about zero in this sense means that it is of greater absolute value than any other number.

To get any other number from zero, you must therefore remove the equal but opposite number from zero itself. Ergo, all other numbers have a lesser value than zero.

0 - (-1) = 1

Zero minus negative one equals one. Removing a negative one from the everything that is zero leaves us with a positive one, which is the sum of all numbers, from negative to positive infinity, except for negative one.

Therefore, (0 - (-1) = 1) is short for:

(∞ + (-∞)) - (-1) = 1

Everything (Zero) minus negative one equals one. Ergo, one, and all other values, are less than zero, because you must take their corresponding value from zero.

This is a weird way to look at the mathematical system, but maybe it's the perspective characters like Oblivion see the Multiverse in.
