| Generality and specificity | The same five identification questions must work for physical, biological, software, organizational, documentary, architectural, formal, and epistemic changes. Each domain still keeps its own subject and relation patterns. |
| Possible, planned, actual, modeled, and claimed transformation | A source may call a change possible, planned, enacted, observed, modeled, claimed, or published. Only the changed subject, boundary, before/during/after facts, and continuity rule establish an actual U.Transformation; the plan, work, observation, model, assertion, and publication remain separate claims. |
| Neighboring value competition | A method, mechanism, dynamics model, work occurrence, time claim, evidence item, or result can look like the thing that changed. Test the actual change first; use the separate pattern for each additional claim. |
| Time and order | Many transformations need a time window, cadence, duration, ordering relation, or refresh condition, but time wording alone does not define the transformation. |
| Mathematical strength and practical use | A formal task, morphism, state space, constructor-theory account, or dynamics model can describe a transformation precisely. Permission, evidence, performed work, and responsibility remain separate questions answered by their own patterns. |
