Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Negative Space?

So, shower thought that hit me. Not looking for answers but merely a discussion. If you have knowledge on the topic by all means share.

We have not proven the existence of a quantifiable true negative value for space in our universe. Most occurrences of negativity can be summarized as positive but in the opposite direction of a vector, frequency(ie spin), or charge. This is what negative is after all just a number line flowing in the opposite direction as the positive one. Wouldn't it stand to reason that if the universe has a sort of fundamental consistency to it, there should be negative space? That if you go small enough you pass the threshold "0" and then begin to move positive in the opposite direction. The idea I had is that what if that is all a dimension is, a positive and negative space of a prior dimension. A cube is just 2 planes connected across some sort of "bridge" between them. What if that "bridge" is the "0" value of that space. If so could that be where anti matter is? Is a collision between particles that produces anti matter just a relapse effect across the "bridge"?
A part of this idea that came to mind for me also, was the existence of super positions. If Negative Space is real, that would mean that the extents could be equal to Positive Space. Meaning that position should also be equal but across the "bridge". This would mean that two objects could exist in the same "position" relative to their native space.
This is just a shower though conjecture.
I'm a computer science major, so forgive me if I am lacking in knowledge. In most 3D/CAD programs this is how negative scale operates by flipping vertex data to negative values reversing triangles. Since we see more similarities between our world and the digital one as tech advances, I thought the question worth asking.
Edit: Another thought to expand upon this idea of Negative Space. Since mass "sags" spacetime, could it be pressing on the boundary between Positive and Negative Space if Negative Space is real. If that's the case could gravity be a byproduct due to the space expanding. We theorize space expands, if that's the case could Negative Space be doing the same in mirror? If so, would it be pulling things across the boundary due to "pressing" on the boundary? I am trying to be very careful to not speak of this like fact cause in.my head it makes sense. It is merely a conjecture though and I want to make that clear.
