Space" refers to geometry (points in SOPs and other 3D objects) relative to a certain object, like where a point of a SOP is located relative to a camera.

Clones can be made to cook and output differently: component inputs - CHOPs, SOPs, TOPs and DATs that feed into the clone via the inputs may have differing

Merge SOP merges geometry from multiple SOPs. You can merge SOPs by wiring them into the Merge SOP, and/or you can specify the names in the SOPs parameter

however you can not use the geometry output to other SOPs or access the geometry data in the SOP to CHOP or SOP to DAT. It is recommended that the Alembic file
