Inverse / Computation Layer

Calculate the multiplicative inverse (1/x) for each value. Similar to numpy.reciprocal() or R's 1/x operation.

Mathematical form: $y_{i} = \frac{1}{x _{i}}$ where $i$ is the row index.

Common applications:

Rate conversions (speed to time per unit)
Frequency to period conversion
Electrical resistance networks
Spring constant calculations
Light intensity decay
Gravitational field strength

Note: Returns null for zero values to avoid division by zero. Results can be very large for small inputs.

column

The numeric column to compute inverses for. Common inputs:

Rates (convert between per-unit measures)
Frequencies (convert to periods)
Physical constants (reciprocal relationships)
Proportions (convert between parts and wholes)

Must contain non-zero values for meaningful results.

Name for the new column. If not provided, the system generates a unique name. If AsColumn matches an existing column, the existing column is replaced. The name should follow valid column naming conventions.
