Let's say a number of people get together to work on a project. Input consists of contributions of differing values, by definition. Some people have more time than others, some have more creativity than others, some have nmore insight than others, some are more methodical than others, some have better contacts than others, and so on.
Each contribution is useful.
Some contributions may be essential.
It may not be obvious which is which. A chance remark from someone on the periphery can turn out to be the key to success.
Let's say the project is successful and income appears.
How should the income be distributed?
Also, what happens if there's no agreement, or the voted distribution doesn't add up?
You have N people - you give each of them 1/N of the total to distribute as they see fit among the other N-1 people excluding themselves.
Each person then gets some assigned fraction of the total.
One can allow for different subjective valuations and payments in kind as well by means of an auction which guarantees everyone gets at least their subjective eveluation of what constitutes their share.
