n = d0 + b*(d1 + b*(d2 + b*(d3 + b*(d4 + ...

1111 = 1-6*(1-6*(1-6*(1-6*(1)))) = (11111)_-6

Thanks for replying Albert, and while this answer no doubt is useful to math-heads, I was hoping for an English explanation of the meaning of a negative base. Equations can show and even prove many things, tragically only a small percent of them are meaningful to the rest of is.
