Subtraction is nothing like addition.
If you are talking about addition, it means that 1+1=2 - one entity + one entity = two entities. Entities=numbers.
However, for subtraction it is the opposite. 1-1 = 0 - one entity eats/- one entity = zero entities. There are no other entities to eat except for itself. Thus when it eats itself, there are no more entities left.
