Sorry, Rick - but I just can't get heads or tails outta that sentence, but isn't that firstly a 100.208 MΩ resistor?
And then being "negative" also - "a resistor with a negative resistance" - hence simply a DC-to-light linear amp?

Reminds me of my DIY audio design years where I and some of my co-dependants kidded:
"just design an audio interconnect cable with a negative resistance, infinite input impedance and zero ohm source impedance,
no inductive or capacitive reactance, and we'll get rid of all those heavy, ugly amps entirely"...
