Yes, "minusation" . What about "+- imagination", then? Nice word, anyway. May be we can get "+-imagination" by equalling multiplication and "addition" to "zeration"?
That would lead to "multiplication" becoming equal to "minusation" and that would only be possible if somehow inside multiplication we had "+-imagination"???
Or actually, instead of multiplication.
