The document discusses analogies between MVC frameworks like CakePHP and Flex. It compares data to minerals and nutrients in the earth, with tables represented as water and soil tables. Models are likened to roots that allow data to travel both ways in the MVC "tree", while controllers are the trunk that connects views to models and components. Views are represented as Flash SWF files. It also explores similarities between client-side MVC frameworks and CakePHP elements that allow for heavy client-side development.
