Conservative Change:

Change as the same is called Conservative. All natural change is said to be Conservative, wherein transformation or destruction is defined as promoting the existence of tandem pre-existent states changed in identical or near like form.

The river flows in summer and floods in spring year in and year out, altered only as degrees more or less. The most fundamental life form on the planet is vegetation which germinates from seeds, grows, produces more seeds, withers, dies and rots, which is change that leaves and promotes the condition of its existence in a near like form. This can be said of anything natural from stars to crocodiles.

The problem with Conservative Change is that it produces nothing external and distinct from itself, from which to define or evaluate by comparative difference. Nature as change only duplicates what already exists. Elephants are always elephants. This is called Conservative. Trees only duplicate trees, which does not explain what a tree is. We know it only by attributes and affects such as tall, green, shade or smell. However if one knows that trees make oxygen that makes life possible, then the tree produces change as a product distinct and external from itself. The changed state of oxygen explains how nearly all other things live; but still does not explain why all things live.

Finite Determination:

Why do all things live, or why life at-all is the eternal mystery ? A way to solve the problem is to create change called progress as distinct.

Finite Determination means human created changed states like power-plants, explains the reason, purpose, value and consequence for building them, as creating superior qualities and conditions to the pre-existing states.
