An additive process in art means adding material to the piece. Building a sculpture from clay is additive because you add clay. A subtractive process means subtracting material away from the piece. Carving a stone statue is subtractive because you take away stone.

no 1 is not an additive identity
Additive processes add stuff to the original piece. Think welding or adhesive bonding. Subtractive would be maybe a machining process that takes material away. Trailing zeros mean greater tolerance is required and that comes at a higher price.
The additive inverse for a number is its negative value. The sum of an integer and its additive inverse is zero. For the example (5), the additive inverse would be (-5).
