Anti-Mechanics (Physics)

A hypothetical framework for mechanical systems that would actively resist or oppose the normal laws of motion. While normal mechanics describes how forces cause accelerations (F=ma), anti-mechanics would describe a world where applying a force causes deceleration in the direction of the force, or where objects naturally accelerate away from applied forces. It's the physics of a universe with reversed inertia, where pushing something makes it move toward you and pulling makes it move away—a world that would be utterly unrecognizable and probably uninhabitable.
Anti-Mechanics (Physics) Example: "In my dream, I tried to push a box, but it accelerated away from me—my subconscious had invented a whole anti-mechanics universe while I slept."
