For relative newcomers, like TC:
The d6 represents all the real-world cues we use to play: maps, dice, words and numbers on character sheets, life stones, whatever. The smiley faces represent the players (including the GM) interacting. The cloud represents the stuff of the game's fiction: the girl leading Thedric into the pond, Harald and his poor treatment of Culhain, the arm braces, the dangerous drunkenness.
The d6 represents everything we can point to in the real world, the cloud everything we can't.
