The quote you are talking about is about constant change. More or less everyone on RSF likely understands that with or without getting the first bit (probably the most important part). But I don't see any connection to triangles, equilibrium, equal and opposite force.
are you sure ? If the "energy" sinks as you say what happens to equal and opposite force. What if its wrong, how would
one know
Keep in mind, I cannot do what Ben demonstrated. But I can I'm just working on that first part. If someone can do this, why not just use normal taijiquan explanations? If they have to go into physics, they seem to have missed it all in my experience.
Seems back wards..if one can do it, then one should be able to correlate what they talked about in the taiji explanations to using modern physics expressions.
The question would be better put to as why? why would one do that....The many post here talking about dantain, qi, ect is one and a big reason why.
Evan among native chinese its not always so clear....using physics takes it out of the realm of the intangible to the tangible.
