The Structural Scarcity of Materialized Justice
This paper argues that the scarcity of materialized justice is not a contingent failure of implementation but a structural inevitability. Through seven falsifiable propositions, I demonstrate that justice emerges exclusively from human-constructed normative systems, exists only in relative forms, and can be materialized solely through State monopoly. Since State action requires finite agents deploying scarce resources in response to violations that have already occurred, and since injustice creates diffuse victimization while justice materialization remains centralized, a fundamental asymmetry renders comprehensive justice materialization mathematically impossible. The normative conclusion follows directly: rational agents should position themselves to maximize their probability of receiving justice materialization in an environment of structural scarcity.
