6. The main analyses of path dependency of which I am aware rely on assumptions about rational action. These assumptions sustain a model of the way in which an initial choice C can create extra costs for later attempts to depart from C such that rational individuals stick with C even though, in the absence of these extra costs, C would no longer be the optimal outcome for them.
