Why is this so, why is that body skill called Aiki ? ......As I understand Aiki is how one acts/react/ in blending with a force coming on from the outside, such as an attacker’s physical force and spirit.
This merging of force does not compromise your own center of mass, which is hidden from the opponent -- he can't feel where it is. You absorb his force to the ground, and deliver it back to him almost instantaneously, amplified by a contribution of additional force from your own internal manipulations.

Is this reflective of someone adjusting trying to maintain their center

Lots of words describing what's going on.
If I was to talk about drop step
for example there are clips
of it in action being used.

Yes, that's what they are doing.

Video doesn't help. You can only see overt movement. Aiki and "internal" about inner movement and feel. That's why everyone who sees these videos of Sam Chin, Roy Goldberg and other internal martial artists believe that the training partners are tanking or "hypnotized," or whatever, and can't possibly be getting compelled to make those kinds of reactions against their will.
You are always welcome to train with me, and I would be happy to explain as best I can via hands-on.

kudos to you , a simple and honest answer
Had you or anyone else familiar with the training given the theory as you have done now.
It would have provided a context by which many could view it through while still not agreeing with it
or understanding it.
Looking at the clip, what you mentioned was pretty much my own feelings on what was going and why it may or may not
affect others in the same way..
If your so inclined it might help to explain the different reactions in people and why.

It has only become common practice since there has been a buck in the seminar circuit
