Except it does: land value.
This right here is the basis of geolibertarianism, which calls for a minimal government that exists solely to collect LVT and redistribute it directly as UBI. The UBI distributed should be equal to the opportunity cost externalized by private/exclusive land use. The cap would be a 100% LVT, where all land is leased from society as a whole (or more precisely, this minimal government representing said society).
So:
> Who decides how much UBI is enough?
The land market.
> What procedure will that person or body use?
The appraisal of the market value of land (sans the improvements upon it, like buildings).
> What is the algorithm that prevents UBI increasing without bound?
Supply and demand of land.
