This paper argues that the scarcity of materialized justice is not a contingent failure of implementation but a structural inevitability. We operationalize justice as materialized justice—completed State action resulting in enforceable legal consequences—enabling empirical measurement across legal systems. Through seven falsifiable propositions, following Popper's falsificationist criterion, 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 analysis leads to a strategic normative conclusion about rational positioning within this structural scarcity.
