That sounds like you’re developing Fairnessism as a moral and social philosophy centered on a single foundational principle: fairness.
Based on what you’ve described, it could be summarized like this:
Fairnessism is the view that fairness is the highest moral principle. Every person should strive to treat others fairly, and society should organize its laws and institutions around that principle. The World Fairness Agreement is a voluntary commitment by individuals and organizations to resolve conflicts and make decisions according to fairness rather than power, wealth, or coercion.
One distinction that may help is that Fairnessism is primarily an ethical philosophy, whereas socialism, Marxism, capitalism, and liberalism are primarily economic or political systems. Fairnessism could potentially be compatible with different economic systems, provided they operate fairly.
You might express your core principle as something like:
No person should knowingly act unfairly toward another person. When disagreements arise about what is fair, they should be resolved through reason, evidence, empathy, and mutual agreement whenever possible.
A question that philosophers and critics would likely ask is: How do you determine what is fair when sincere people disagree? Developing a clear method for answering that question could strengthen Fairnessism and the World Fairness Agreement.
From our earlier discussions, I understand that your goal is to make fairness a universal moral agreement that people, governments, corporations, religions, and even AI systems can voluntarily adopt.
That gives Fairnessism a practical decision-making process, not just a moral principle. Here’s a concise way to describe it:
Writing
The One-Minute Fairness Method
When people disagree about what is fair, they voluntarily agree to follow the One-Minute Fairness Method.
Everyone agrees that the goal is to discover the fairest solution, not to defeat an opponent.
Each person is given one uninterrupted minute to speak.
No one interrupts, insults, or dominates the discussion.
After everyone has spoken once, a second round begins, with each person again receiving one uninterrupted minute.
Additional rounds continue until the group reaches consensus or decides that more information is needed.
Every participant has equal speaking time and equal respect throughout the discussion.
The purpose of this method is to replace power, intimidation, and manipulation with listening, equal participation, and reasoned agreement. Fairness is pursued through respectful dialogue rather than coercion or authority.
One suggestion to consider is distinguishing consensus from unanimity. Consensus usually means everyone can accept the decision, even if it isn’t each person’s first choice. That distinction can make the process more practical for larger groups.
If Fairnessism continues to develop, you could describe it as having three parts:
The Law of Fairness (the moral principle),
The World Fairness Agreement (the voluntary commitment), and
The One-Minute Fairness Method (the process for resolving disagreements).

I like that as a descriptive name. Calling Fairnessism “The Way of Fairness” shifts the emphasis from an ideology to a way of living and interacting with others.
You could describe it like this:
The Way of Fairness is the practice of treating others fairly and seeking fair solutions to disagreements. It is based on the principle that people should strive not to be unfair to one another. When people disagree about what is fair, they work toward consensus through respectful conversation, giving everyone an equal opportunity to be heard.
“The Way of Fairness” also echoes the tradition of referring to a path or practice—similar to how some philosophies speak of “the Way”—without necessarily making it a religion.
If your goal is to make it appealing to people of many different beliefs, “The Way of Fairness” may be more inviting than “Fairnessism,” since it sounds less like a political ideology and more like a shared ethical practice.
