"There is this (mental) dwelling discovered by the Tathāgata where, not attending to any themes, he enters & remains in internal emptiness." Mahāsuññata Sutta

In your own words do you know this state? Fluidity of movement, with intent, within the inner world, is such an interesting subject. So many profitable questions, so little commentary so little in the way of description.

In my experience, this contemplative abode is the spaciousness in which all else arises & subsides. Given its themeless, often contentless quality, it can be challenging to convey in words. Still, I'd describe it as luminous awareness, boundless & transparent, buoyantly free.

Space itself is unmoving but contains all movement within it. The practice entails looking directly at spacious awareness even in the midst of movement, namely by looking through transparent thoughts, allowing them to arise & subside without mindlessly sticking them together.

The conglomerations we otherwise make out of thoughts, the narrative stories that sweep us away, then have no basis. Each movement of mind arises for a moment like a wave, then naturally subsides into oceanic space. Eventually, all grows still. At least that's my experience.

Stillness seems unsatisfying to me not to be critical in any way. Understanding the nature of attachment and identification nearly the holy grail. Time for stillness after my task is completed.

In my experience, stillness is [merely] what remains after thoughts and other such movements have all run their course. It's simply a place of rest, requiring no striving, naturally a part of the flowing process.
