Dynamic Constraints and Object Migration

Summary: Models object migration in class hierarchies as dynamic constraints over role-set patterns. Characterizes SL/CSL(+): SL yields exactly regular inventories with decidable soundness/completeness, while conditionals reach recursively enumerable behavior and make these problems undecidable.
