In DXYQ, dantian is rotated when one contracts and expands i.e. when the body is in movement. I would like to know if a DXYQ practitioner can stand still and rotate the dantian independently. What role does intent play here?

DING, DING, DING. We have a winner!!!
Here's the quote that started this discussion:
what i am talking about are powered helix. which means that the coils are created by dantain rotation.
IF the dan tian is the energetic center, a point, "the place to store energy", "had nothing to do with muscle development... It's just a tiny spot, a place in your body where you store essence and turn essence into Qi", what is "rotating"? In other words, when someone speaks of "dan tian rotation", what does that mean, exactly, what are they "rotating" and about what are they rotating it?
Since rotation is a scientific term, here's a description of what that means, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation:
Mathematically, a rotation is a rigid body movement which, unlike a translation, keeps a point fixed. This definition applies to rotations within both two and three dimensions (in a plane and in space, respectively.)
All rigid body movements are rotations, translations, or combinations of the two.
A rotation is simply a progressive radial orientation to a common point. That common point lies within the axis of that motion. The axis is 90 degrees perpendicular to the plane of the motion. If the axis of the rotation lies external of the body in question then the body is said to orbit.
(Those familiar with my first video will note that in the video, motion is described in terms of open/close, translation and rotation. A single-word term for open/close was too obscure to be in most peoples' vocabulary. The human body is "semi-rigid".)
