Qigong master Chunyi Lin recently noted in his Master of Qi class that the difference between taiji and qigong is the mental intention. We can say that qigong is based on infinite intention - these are my own words.
But the description of Empty Force in Taiji is very well done by these teacher Henry Wang.
What has to be realized is that reality is holographic. And so it is more important to be able to "receive" someone else's energy or Center of Attention - you need to be able to feel their energy - before you can move it!!
This is why if someone else is the Master - then you can not feel their energy (unless they want you to)....
And so if your Intention is on the Infinite then no one can feel your energy very easily.

Fascinating!! Truly the Essence of the practice!
What's fascinating is Henry Wang and his students state that "receiving" is more important than sending - so that first the "center" of another person has to be sensed or perceived. In qigong this is experienced holographically - so that another person's shen frequency is their intention that is then felt inside my own body. So to give an example this reminded me of -
