About perfect particle clauses [on hold]
How do I form a correct perfect particle clauses sentence?
Do these sentences mean the same thing? Or does changing the verb change the meaning? Can I still use the present perfect I have presumed in the second clause?
Having seen my best friend become an offender, I have always presumed that [something] caused his transition.

I've made the question less proof-reading, but I'm not sure whether you really mean "perfect particle" or "participle" or something else.

What does the "perfect particle" (participle?) from your title and first sentence relate to the rest of the question?

"Having seen" is a perfect participle, but the question does appear to be about "become/becoming". The title (and the reference to it in the first line) is still unclear, but perhaps the rest of the question is not. However, Luckyy, if it's not what you want to ask, please feel free to correct it. "Perfect particle" needs to change in any case.

I start to realize that my question is actually about "see do" or "see doing". I don't know the terminology for this. I think I should go to the English Learner stack exchange

It's possible that ELL would be a better site, but you're still going to have to articulate what you're trying to ask there too.
