It might be that it is not a metaphysically necessary condition for
the existence of macrophysical objects that electric charges have a
particular causal powers that they do; however, all that matters here
is that in the actual world electric charges have the particular causal
powers that they have and these powers emerge because electric
charges act consistently. In other words, in the actual world the laws
of physics require that one and the same particle either has or does
not have an electric charge at any one time -otherwise this particular
macrophysical construction would not be possible. The law of noncontradiction, if it is true, is perhaps the most fundamental condition
of this type3
