What does "below" mean? Is 177 below 664? Is 1000?

Code:
man find

Read about the -perm test.

Those numbers are created by testing for set bits from the stat structure element called st_mode.
Code:
rwx=7
rw-=6
r-x=5

and so on.

You have three bits for each number 6 (user or owner) 6 (group permissions) 4 (other or world permissions)
664 = rw-rw-r


They are not really addition or subtraction.

It may be possible (most things are), but if you don't tell us what "less than" means in this context, we can't help you.
