Forms, capacities and habits remain unchanged while their substrate changes.

Evidence

In the Lectures on the History of Philosophy, Hegel emphasizes the dual principles of change and preservation as Aristotle had formulated them: That which is changed is only the sensuous and perceptible; forms and figures, as capacities, and habitus (habits like virtues and vices, for example) are not changed; ‘Forms etc. arise and disappear in a thing, but what rises and disappears, is not changed’. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 497
