Proposed change
New hypernym:
oewn-00126072-v (Interlingual Index: i22389)
(v) change, alter, modify cause to change; make different; cause a transformation “The advent of the automobile may have altered the growth pattern of the city” “The discussion has changed my thinking about the issue”

Motivation
The hypernym sense describes changes of the agent (subject) not changes made by the agent. The other sense captures this and the hyponyms indicated describe this active meaning of the verb.

There also seems to be no sense of the verb 'vary' that captures this active meaning (e.g., 'I varied the parameters of the experiment'), so this should be added to the hypernym sense as well.
