It regards the physical model of the wing and of the air flow around it. It means that CloD adopts a calculated flight model, as opposed to the parametric one. In the more sophisticated physical models the lift/drag is calculated for a number of wing portions, or slices, whereas in the simpler ones the calculation is done on the entire wing.
IIRC, CFS and FS used a parametric FM, or a variant of it, while XPlane adopts a physical model with several "slices" and separated wings.

To all: Please, stop using again the expression "layman's terms", enough is enougH
