  Ok, I used the word "transformed", which was unambiguous in this case.
I meant that the object is generated with a new clock value for each
ray (as it would be done for each frame of an animation). Of course the
object can be modified in many other ways using the clock value besides
using transformations (ie. translate, rotate, scale...).
