What Precisely Does "Preferred Foliation" Mean?

I have a very very rough idea what a foliation in mathematics means but don't understand the term "preferred foliation."
It seems to be something related to "preferred frame" and causal relationships over time. Any suggestions or pointers for further research would be greatly appreciated.
