I too am confused, but maybe its because your system is complex. Let me try and see if a simpler system helps. So if you wanted to subtract a function from a plot of data you could do something like this. 

Here's my data in a temporary file named temp.dat

0 1
1 2
2 4
3 7
4 11
5 16

Now I want to subtract a function f(x) which I define below.

f(x) = x

and then plot the data, but my y-axis is the data minus the function evaluated at x (in column 1)

plot 'temp.dat' u 1:($2 - f($1))


I'm not too sure if this is what you are trying to do or not, but I hope it helps!
