The transformed field $\phi'(x)$ is moved. Suppose $\phi(x)$ is a sine wave, let $x = \pi/2$. Let $\phi'(x)$ be the transformed field by moving it to the right by some amount (assuming the new sine wave does not align with the old sine wave), clearly $\phi'(x)$ at $x = \pi/2$ will have a different value compared to $\phi(x)$ at $x = \pi/2$. | |
