One can be actively and willfully negligent. A bivalent state can be described with the negation of its opposite.

i.e.
absent = not present
present = not absent

The antonym of negligence is care, or heedfulness
negligent = not heedful
heedful = not negligent

If you neglect injustice, justice does not follow.

Justice is the rendering to each what is due to him/her.

That would require a third case.

Justice actually should follow neglect of injustice unless there is a third case. The third case might very well be apathy. The third case would have to be factored into all the other equations to make it consistent.

Or in other words if you neglect injustice, this translates into failure to be unjust, or failure to heed some principles of injustice. If this does not equal justice then it must equate to a third option.

That's assuming we don't use some kind of gradient where nothing is binary in the first place.

If deliberate injustice (formal injustice) is neglected, I think non-deliberate injustice (material injustice) is found.

Returning to the departure (sort of): If evil/wickedness/etc. be considered as a lack of a fitting/due good/quality; then there is indeed no binary.
This is because existence and non-existence cannot be compared because one is real, the other is not "something" which can be compared. Ie. Non existence is nothing, it is not real, it cannot be related to anything. Likewise, if justice is a good moral quality, injustice is the term for a moral-capable act, which does not actually possess the quality of morality.

You are comparing and relating it though. If it cannot be compared or related then you cannot form this hypothesis.

Non-existence has to be real, as a presence in absence, otherwise you end up with something that is not really not there - i.e. it is there.

Your house not being full of a million badgers is a real state. The state of a million badgers not existing in your house is real.

If it were not real then the badgers would be in your house. Maybe you'd still imagine that they aren't there and don't see yourself covered in badgers but they'd have to be there if their absence is false.

Also the non-existence of a fatal toxin in your system is real. Which is a good thing because it means you are not dead.

Moreover, to determine that something is not there you must be able to compare to it. Otherwise you wouldn't know it when you saw it and would be oblivious.
