用超文本摩擦感对抗算法操控，重夺用户主导权。
Agency Among Agents: Designing with Hypertextual Friction in the Algorithmic Web
- 提出'超文本摩擦'概念，以可追溯性与结构化设计对抗算法黑箱
- 对比维基百科/Instagram、Are.na/生成式图像工具，揭示控制力差异
- 适合关注算法伦理、界面设计与数字自主性的研究者与设计师
当前由算法驱动的界面（如推荐流、生成式AI工具）常以提升参与度和效率为优先，牺牲了用户的自主性。随着系统承担更多决策功能，用户对所见内容及意义关联的控制力不断减弱。本文提出‘超文本摩擦’这一设计理念，将经典超文本原则——摩擦感、可追溯性与结构性——转化为可操作的价值取向，以在算法化环境中重新夺回用户自主权。通过对比真实界面（维基百科 vs. Instagram Explore，Are.na vs. GenAI图像工具），分析其在用户体验、导航方式与创作主体性上的差异。研究发现，超文本系统强调来源可溯、关联思维与用户主导的意义建构，而算法系统则模糊过程、弱化参与。本文贡献包括：(1) 揭示界面结构如何影响用户驱动与代理驱动系统中的自主性；(2) 提出以超文本价值为基础的设计立场，作为重夺算法网络中用户主权的行动指南。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Today's algorithm-driven interfaces, from recommendation feeds to GenAI tools, often prioritize engagement and efficiency at the expense of user agency. As systems take on more decision-making, users have less control over what they see and how meaning or relationships between content are constructed. This paper introduces "Hypertextual Friction," a conceptual design stance that repositions classical hypertext principles--friction, traceability, and structure--as actionable values for reclaiming agency in algorithmically mediated environments. Through a comparative analysis of real-world interfaces--Wikipedia vs. Instagram Explore, and Are.na vs. GenAI image tools--we examine how different systems structure user experience, navigation, and authorship. We show that hypertext systems emphasize provenance, associative thinking, and user-driven meaning-making, while algorithmic systems tend to obscure process and flatten participation. We contribute: (1) a comparative analysis of how interface structures shape agency in user-driven versus agent-driven systems, and (2) a conceptual stance that offers hypertextual values as design commitments for reclaiming agency in an increasingly algorithmic web.
