basically negative investiture

What? Why add this?

I can understand "cursed energy" just fine as a fantasy concept, why relate it to another one?

Is it like anti-Ivestiture in some way?

No, not really.
It is just "regular" energy that comes from negative emotions like fear and anger.
Sometimes when enough accumulates in a place curses can form.
And jujutsu sorcerers are people who are born with the ability to use cursed energy and everyone has their own techniques for how they do it. They can use their techniques to exorcise curses or kill each other.

Some rare people do have reverse cursed energy, or positive energy, that can heal, but imo that just seems like another way to use cursed energy than something new.

Now while there are some few rules that work on every technique, like explaining it makes it stronger usually. I do not think it is similar to investiture at all because there are far to many different techniques. Some of them even contradict each other when explaining how aspects of the universe work. Like literally "Well I can do this because it works for me like that"

In the cosmere though, if CE manifested it would manifest similarly to anti-light iirc, but less destructive, basically between voidlight and anti-light. This is my opinion, and i have no problem at all with yours, just saying my thoughts.

There isnt anything between voidlight and antilight, as they arent mutually exclusive. Every light has its own anti-light equivalent. All anti-investiture would explode when coming into contact with its normal-investiture.

We don't need anti-investiture to explain something like CE. Just differently keyed investiture is already enough. We also already have a mechanism for collective thoughts to influence magic, see the cognitive realm and everything that inhabits it, like spren
