If you just clone a reference to them, then you are just pointing another finger at them.

Is this really an analogy that resonates with programmers today?

If you clone a reference to someone you have a completey separate body but any actions taken affect the original as well

I believe it is just a wormhole pointing to the original so even if it may look like another body it's just the original being manipulated through the warped spacetime continuum

Why would the clone be connected…?

Because it's only a reference to the original.
