Default Followon to image theory

It is said that the elevated radials are an artificial ground plane,
simulate a ground plane, form a virtual ground plane, or approximate a
ground plane. It may be that the radials perform the same function as a
ground plane, but do not form a real ground plane.

For example, the Butternut antenna manual at following web address says that
elevated radials are an artificaial ground plane.

What functions do the radials perform that are the same as a real ground
plane? What similarities are there between radials and a real ground plane?
