A Juxtaposition
"Physics and Reality"
with
The Constitution
&
The Reality of Evil
His [The] belief that a reality [an evil] exists independent of our ability to observe it. As he put it in his autobiographical notes: "Physics [the U.S. Constitution] is an attempt conceptually to grasp reality [evil] as it is thought independently of its being observed. In this sense one speaks of 'physical reality' [temporal evil]."
His [The] belief in separability and locality. In other words, objects [evils] are located at certain points in spacetime [past, present and future], and this separability is part of what defines them. "If one abandons the assumption that what exists in different parts of space [planet earth] has its own independent, real existence, then I [yours truly] simply cannot see what it is that physics [the U.S. Constitution] is supposed to describe," he declared to Max Born.
His [The] belief in strict causality, which implies certainty and classical determinism. The idea that probabilities play a role in reality [in evil] was as disconcerting to him [yours truly] as the idea that our observations might play a role in collapsing those probabilities. "Some physicists [individuals], among them myself [yours truly], cannot believe," he said, "that we must accept the view that events in nature [events of history] are analogous to a game of chance."

Absolute Distinction(s)
Evil is Evil. But it is the individual that defines temporal evil.
