Default power is the authority to determine what happens when no explicit choice is made. It operates through control of baseline settings, opt-out paths, and the effort or cost required to choose differently.
Default power does not require coercion. It operates by defining what happens when no explicit choice is made.
In many systems, the most consequential decision is not which option is chosen, but who defines the baseline state, the opt-out path, and the cost of deviation.
Defaults can coordinate large systems, but they also distribute attention, effort, risk, and responsibility before an individual decision is made.
This site does not argue for or against choice architecture or prescribe a preferred default.
Its purpose is to name a form of authority that often appears as convenience, standardization, or neutral design — while producing real governance effects.
This page is intentionally minimal.
It exists to ensure the term Default Power has a stable place to stand.
「預設權力」是決定在沒有明確選擇時，事情會如何發生的權威。它透過控制基準設定、退出途徑，以及選擇其他路徑所需的努力或成本來運作。
預設權力不必依賴強迫。 它的運作方式是：在沒有明確選擇發生時，先決定「事情會怎麼走」。
在許多系統中，最關鍵的並非人們選了哪個選項， 而是誰能定義基準狀態、退出路徑，以及偏離預設所需承擔的成本。
預設可以協調大型系統，也會在人們作出個別決定之前，先行分配注意力、負擔、風險與責任。
本站不主張支持或反對選擇架構，也不指定何種預設較為理想。
其目的是為一種常被包裝成便利、標準化或中立設計的權威命名—— 但它會產生真實的治理效果。
本頁刻意維持極簡。
它存在，是為了確保 預設權力（Default Power） 這個詞能有一個穩定的立足點。
