Obviously if this is actually how the multiverse works, there will be possibly an infinite number of branches.
Therefore you would have to only be able to perceive 1 object, and the other object would be unperceivable... hidden from perception.
But I disagree, if you perceive 2 separate objects (mirror universes) they are not identical.

Right, it's like you find one to have a necklace. He stole it from you, then it is the same. If he didn't steal it, he has an identical one. We talk about an object to be the same if it changed place in the 'matrix'?

Yes, but 'Identical' and 'the same' can on their own be used for 'differen't things. Like:
Identical is the same, but the same isn't therefore identical for the same can be used for one thing on it's own. You can point your finger to a computer, and say: "This computer, is the same as, and then you turn around and come up to 'the same' computer again and say: 'As this one'. That is the true meaning of the same. We speak about Identical when we have two objects of the same definitions.
Yaa!
So, short, identical is about two objects. A same object is same to its own. Two different objects aren't the same, for if you destroy one of them, it isn't the same anymore. Better, in essence the two objects aren't the same. Now you must get it.
How I do love identical objects..
Definitions of identical:
similar or alike in every way.
numerically identical: being one and the same individual. Tully and Cicero are identical.
quantitatively identical: exactly alike, equal, or agreeing.
Definitions of same:
being one or identical though having different names. Tully and Cicero are the same person.
being of equal value, amount. These boxes have the same dimensions.
having matching characteristics. Both of these shirts are the same color.
things being alike in kind, degree, quality, being identical with.

Identical one uses when talking about two different objects.
