It *is* two different objects. An object only has current state, no 
information about past or future state. X is just a parameter for 
generating the object. The clock value only has any meaning to the code 
that generates the objects for the current frame. For each frame, it is 
just a number.
Did you think an object with a transform based on clock was actually 
moving? It's not, it is just a series of stills. There is no motion 
information to retrieve, you have to handle it yourself.
