RE: repeater loop multiply limitation?

It's just "virtual" until an

one
full loop record cycle which "flattens" the track. If you leave the 
overdub
early Repeater will finish the cycle for you. Once the multiply is
"flattened" you have no restrictions.

Damon, for the above context, will you define 'virtual' , 'flattens',
and 'finish the cycle for you'
I don't understand them.
Or should I RTFM?
thanks,
bret
