Change is the process whereby some or all of the properties of a Thing or a Being are added to or subtracted from.
Change occurs in one of two ways:
Generally, if change causes a Thing to move past its systole or diastole, it becomes some Thing else.
In the case of Beings, change cannot affect its Being-ness (a Being cannot become another Being under any circumstances), but it can affect its nature: a Being can become of a lesser nature through the passive systolis imposed by time, or it can become of a greater nature through the active diastolis imposed by will.
