A.3.4:4.2.1 - Keep proposed component and whole-configuration changes separate

Use component change and whole-configuration change only as ordinary question roles for actual U.Transformation occurrences already identified through A.3.4:4.1. They are not additional U-kinds, record fields, or evidence that one change is part of another.

Identify every proposed component change and the proposed whole-configuration change independently. A sampled point, arbitrary subinterval, method step, work part, flow node, graph edge, trace segment, formula term, before-and-after image, shared changed subject, or temporal inclusion establishes neither composition nor absence of finer parts.

The neighboring general patterns do not silently answer the composition question. A.22 can identify a selected structure whose relation organization changes; C.27.TA can identify temporal aspects; A.14 and C.13 define structural mereology and a Γ_m construction trace. None of those results by itself says that several actual changes compose one actual change. A materialized Γ_m.sum trace is a C.2.1 episteme about identified entity-part relations, assembly, and direct identity or reidentification conditions.

One independently identified change of a selected configuration can therefore remain a valid configuration transformation. If the use needs no positive composition or transformation-holon claim, continue with that transformation and the ordinary neighboring-object guidance in 4.3-4.8. If it does need such a claim, retain the identified changes and stop with missing transformation-composition governor; a proposed local compound claim also stops with missing derivation substrate. Neither stop says that composition is false or that any change is partless.
