This representation looks utterly useless, but amusing anyway. You can easily see some patterns; there's a reason for them. (I have to do
something when walking laps--mulling over crazy stuff works.) (And yes, you can represent all the integers this way.)

Plus columns and minus columns.
The representations of 7, 8, and 9 gave it to me.
You got it. Base negative 2.
I didn't even consider negative bases, just noticed the pattern without explanation.

You will notice that the adder circuit is more complicated than for ordinary binary, and hence not likely to replace existing computer CPUs anytime soon.
