Doubt about physical client, physical server, logical client and logical server

[Miguel654]

if I'm in a multiplayer world am I in a physical client that is inside a physical server and a physical client has a logical server and a logical client and for each player there is a physical client? or I'm on a physical server with a logical server and logical client and each player has a logical client but the logical server is the same

 

or none of these?

physical = which computer (really process on that computer)

logical = what portion of the code actually runs in that process

The only multiplayer environment where that is possible is "open to lan" for the person that shares their game.

The logical client is a subset of the physical client.

The logical client is just minecraft without the server code.

The server code is still always present, its just not used on the client except in single player (or open to lan).
