[OM] What exactly is a 'Floating Mechanism'

[M. Royer]

I know that Olympus uses a 'floating mechanism' or a
'floating element' to correct for abberations at close
distance focusing which makes it a must for macro
lenses. But what exactly are these elements, how do
they 'float' and how does that help correct close
focusing?
