An FSK is what scientists might call a "general theory"; or what physicists might call a "reference frame"; or what philosopher of science might call a "paradigm". They are all approximately the same thing.
Of course, every practicing scientist understands what VA is aluding to, even though he is using a non-standard term/acronym of his own making.
Of course, every non-practitioner (e.g an idiot philosopher such as YOU) can't make the connection because you couldn't figure out what common terminology/concepts an FSK is synonymous with despite VA's elaborate qualitative description.
FSK as a abbreviation is taken.
It means Frequency-Shift Keying.
FSK, in the most basic case, represents a 1 (a mark) by one frequency and a 0 (a space) by another. These frequencies lie within the bandwidth of the transmission channel.
On a V.21, 300 bps, full-duplex modem the originator modem uses the frequency 980 Hz to represent a mark and 1180 Hz a space. The answering modem transmits with 1650 Hz for a mark and 1850 Hz for a space. The four frequencies allow the caller originator and the answering modem to communicate at the same time; that is, full-duplex communication.
FSK modems are inefficient in their use of bandwidth, with the result that the maximum data rate over normal telephone lines is 1800 bps. Typically, for rates over 1200 bps, other modulation schemes are used.
