Formalizing the Countdown Operator: Deficit Calculation Aligned With Human Cognition - Part 2
Abstract We propose a binary operator, the countdown or “short of” operator (⊃), which reverses operand order relative to standard subtraction. While mathematically equivalent, this operator aligns with natural cognitive patterns used in goal-tracking and deficit calculation, reducing mental overhead in repeated real-world comparisons.
