Ah.  Quite right.  So, Yes, what you want is more objects that
in some sense are copies of the original object.  This is getting
way over my head, because there are situations in which it's
hard to say what would constitute a copy of an object, such as
when the object in question is a chat session with a specific
interlocutor.
