Repeated Elements in Typeface design

Hi,

I stumbled upon the Typeface Design Characteristic "Repeated vs. no Repeated Elements" which is supposed to influence font-weight. Can somebody please explain this design characteristic as well as why it influences weight? It would be great to have other examples to look at.

Attached is an image of one example of the design characteristic.

Thanks,
John

I don't get it. What is it supposed to represent?

Yes, fascinating, but opaque...
