The motion controller has three modes, called "free", "teleop", and "coord".

Free mode is used for jogging individual joints (motors), independently 
of all other joints. Free mode ignores kinematics.

Teleop mode is used for jogging in cartesian space. This uses kinematics 
to (optionally) move multiple joints together as needed to implement a 
continuous jog in "world coordinates".

Coordinated mode is used for planned motion in cartesian space. This 
uses kinematics (like teleop mode), but instead of just doing a 
controlled-velocity jog in cartesian space, it uses the trajectory 
planner to implement queued motion commands from gcode.

This is described somewhat in the Developer's Guide: 
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/code/Code_Notes.html#_free

But note that the GUIs (Axis et al) sometimes obscure these modes of the 
underlying motion controller.
