In many multi-agent systems, it is a commonplace requirement to distribute a pool of collectivised resources amongst those agents. One way to meet this requirement is for the agents to mutually agree a set of rules to self-organise and self-regulate the distribution process; but there is no guarantee that any arbitrary set of rules is ‘optimal’ or congruent with the system environment. Therefore, we propose a framework for measuring the ‘fitness for purpose’ of such a set of rules, which encapsulates metrics for principles of participation, transparency and balancing, as derived from various conceptions of procedural justice. We define a metric for the empowerment dimension of the participation principle, and use this in a proof of concept of the framework, that this metric can reveal an inherent ‘fairness’ or ‘unfairness’ over time. We conclude that procedural justice metrics for evaluating ‘fitness for purpose’ are essential in adaptive institutions of both electronic and human varieties.
