Replacing [agentive]
An Agent changes the filler of a Role by placing a New filler in the position after the Old filler ceases to occupy the position. Often this entails the Agent removing the Old filler. In most cases the Role is implicit.

This frame is used both for physically moving a New thing to a particular location formerly occupied by the Old thing, and for cases in which the change is accomplished by some non-motion means, e.g. Appointing.
