Change Axiology: From Good State to Dynamic Value Flow

This article proposes Change Axiology as a reconstruction of value theory grounded in Change Ontology and Change Epistemology. It argues that traditional axiology often begins from an implicit good-state assumption, treating value as if it were already oriented toward a desirable state, rule, outcome, or character. Change Axiology instead defines value as a neutral relation of matching between a change-event and a subject's orientation, intention, need, or sustainable continuation under specified conditions and scales. On this basis, good is not the definition of value but one possible classification: high positive matching. The paper develops the concepts of value-flow, subject-environment-scale specification, governing boundary, convergence-divergence, and the value-action matrix. It positions Change Axiology in dialogue with utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, pragmatism, value pluralism, and value-sensitive design, while arguing that dynamic, open, feedback-sensitive domains require an axiology capable of continuous monitoring and revision. The paper concludes by showing how Change Axiology bridges Change Epistemology and Change Praxeology and offers a philosophical foundation for adaptive AI value alignment and ChangeCision AI.
