+1 on all this - of course, this was more of a thought piece - useful within

Unfortunately, not that useful unless the constraints are considerably
strengthened. Basically, your scheme could be useful if you add the
constraint that all numeric values are positive.

For binary signed integers, you can relax that to all values being the
same sign. (So all comparands must be positive, or they all must be
negative.)
