So it's the components of Wine that produces its fabled compatibility layer?

Dreyns ,

It creates an arborescence that contains the necessary library for you application to work with a thick layer of magic on top of that to make it all work. This is were my understanding is at at least

Sorry for my ignorance, but could you ELI5 that for me?

I don't know what an arborescence is.
