Nat Sakimura:

In OIDC, the word “flow” is used analogously with “grant”, e.g., implicit flow, authorization code flow, etc. 

However, the use of “flow” here in the first paragraph of Clause 6 seems to be something else. It probably is the abbreviation of “Protocol Flow” introduced in Clause 5. 

It would then seem prudent to replace bare “flow” with “protocol flow”. It may also be better to define “protocol flow” in the definition section as well.
