How would you describe this foundation? What is it? Why do you need it for the rest of the energies?

It transmits force passively by actively adjusting to changing situations. It's like the force evident in the filled fire hose. Not the water, but the strength of the water.

Moving or applying force in an upward direction is too simplistic IMO. A movement that anyone can do is not called "jin". The term "Jin" implies that it's a skill that needs time and practice to develop.
