Mathematicians are loons

Really, negative one dollar would be a note saying that you owe one buck.

>>8505552
To you it is, not for the bank

>>8505555
No it isn't
Mathematicians are loons

It only gets worse
>1/3 dollars don't exist, can't exist
>sqrt(2) dollars don't exist
>i dollars don't exist
>(1, 2) dollars don't exist

As someone who makes finance software used by some banks and other financial instituions, debt is literally negative numbers.

In some systems we use two different measures. We keep 'what you have had' and 'what you have owed' separate but whenever we want to know how much an account has it is literally 'what you have had' - 'what you had owed' and if you owe more than you have then negative numbers will and are stored as the total value of the account.

This is the only logical conclusion but it's a bait thread

That's representative you fucktard, just because the left side of the graph has "negative" numbers doesn't mean it literally represents negative distance.
