How do you know ? How do you know what was happening when you were

asleep ? How do you say that you wake up into the same world as you went

to sleep in ? It might be a different world with your memory preloaded,

which will give you a feeling of continuity. Even the fact that you had

gone to sleep cannot be for certain. You say that you went to sleep because

you remember having gone to sleep. The idea of past is entirely dependant

on memory.

You can define 'part' to anything which constitutes the whole. The

parts are dependant on the change. For example, if it is a chemical reaction,

the parts are atoms. If it is a nuclear reaction, the parts are subatomic

particles.
