In particular, look at the sections on MVC<http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/01#Model-View-Controller>and Workflow <http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04#Workflow>. When a function returns a dictionary, web2py will then look for an associated view file and execute the view in an environment with the items in the dictionary available as global variables. Returning an empty dict() is just a way to get web2py to execute the associated view, even if you don't want to return any items to add to that global environment.
