Change, for Aristotle via Hegel, is internal differentiation rather than decay.

Evidence

In Hegel’s view, Aristotle believes in a ‘pure ideality of change’ in the sense that change appears to be neither a simple corruption nor a movement towards non-being. Instead it is revealed as the principle of internal differentiation. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 498
