It's a shame the question was closed, but my +1 goes to you, as (specifically in a software context but also grammatically/in a lexical context) words like surrogate, shadow, and mirror are all terms that work and are in common usage for OP's purpose to accomplish OP's intended usage. | |

You put a proxy around something to enforce a consistent interface around several objects that have different interfaces. My intent is to have the same "object", so you can't tell. I thought of shadow as well, but that, I think, has sinister connotations. | |
