If a system rule does not have a specific setting available, what happens?

When a system rule does not have a specific setting available, the system defaults to a general setting. This mechanism allows the system to maintain functionality and continuity in operations, ensuring that processes can still proceed without interruption. By falling back on a general setting, the system can apply a standard value that is likely to be applicable for most scenarios, thus preventing the need for manual interventions or causing the process to be aborted. This behavior helps to streamline operations and reduces the potential for errors that might arise from incomplete configurations.

In contrast, disregarding the rule entirely or terminating the process would interrupt workflow and hinder system efficiency, while requiring manual intervention could slow down operations and introduce variability based on human decisions. Therefore, defaulting to a general setting is a designed feature to enhance robustness and usability within the system.
