The power of default is the influence of preset conditions on choices and outcomes when people take no action to change them. Defaults distribute attention, effort, cost, and risk by making some paths easier to follow than others.
Defaults do not compel action. They operate by remaining in place when no action is taken.
In many systems, the default option becomes the dominant path, not because it is preferred, but because deviation requires effort, knowledge, or resistance.
Defaults therefore distribute attention, cost, risk, and participation before any explicit decision is recorded.

「預設權力」是人們沒有主動更改設定時，預設條件對選擇與結果產生的影響。預設值讓某些路徑比其他路徑更容易被採用，藉此分配注意力、努力、成本與風險。
預設並不強迫行動。它的力量來自於：當人們沒有採取行動時，它仍然維持原狀。
在許多系統中，預設選項會成為主要路徑， 並非因為它更受偏好，而是因為偏離預設需要額外的成本、知識，或抵抗。
因此，預設會在任何明確決定被記錄之前，先行分配注意力、成本、風險與參與方式。
本站不主張反對選擇架構或行為設計。
它的目的，是為一種結構性力量命名：它能影響決策， 卻不以權威或命令的形式現身。
