I'm caught up in a long paper on Paradise Lost due in a few hours, so this hits close to what my mind is on (but coincidentally, I'm short on time and will have to return later).
I'm not sure how Absolute Evil is defined. According to the definitions you've presented, Absolute Evil would only be able to exist in the absence of some Absolute Good (Eru) or perhaps be equal in origin. Would something that is Absolute Evil would have to be eternally present, if for no other reason than that its end would be good?
