I don't think that anybody will ever come up with a satisfactory definition of fairness, yet almost anyone, faced with a specific case, has an instinctive notion of what is fair. Fairness must be decided case to case, there is no universality to it. It goes back to Cobalt's dinner table: what is a "fair" division of available resources? Look at the variables: who is bigger, who worked or played harder today, who was sick, etc. What is fair today might not be fair tomorrow.

We figure it out on the basis of immediately available information.

None of us can define fairness, but we all know what it is.
