I suspect that a full answer to that question would necessitate the writing of several books. I don't fully understand what's going on in the background but I'll have a go at explaining my take on it.
The Ruby interpreter creates a "runtime environment" in which to hold the objects. Since Rails uses MVC architecture, your main components are: The Model - Database link via ActiveRecord, and ancillaries. The View - Collection of whatever pages and templates you're using, requested when necessary by the controller, and associated JS & media). The Controller - A series of methods interlinked by "routes" which ties together the view and model and determines the progression of events.
