Improvement_or_decline [change]
An Entity improves from a less desirable Prior_state to a more desirable Post_state. (Note that members of this frame marked with the semantic type "Negative" indicate deterioration.) In most cases the Prior_state and the Post_state are implicit, since the most important fact is simply that the Post_state is better than the Prior_state.
