What do you think it is? It could mean different things to different people.
At first thought, I envision a structure of double weight with the majority of weight on the upper and lower body of the same side with no cross balance to the other side of the body while leading and moving with the same side hand and foot forward - not a condition nor position I would want to be in during a martial conflict.

My first thought was a funny way of walking I've seen mentioned by Rob John where the person tries to always keep the same side hand and foot moving forward.
After Dan's reply to me in the other thread (which seemed to rule that out), I keep thinking of the last seminar at my dojo where I was practicing suwari waza and sensei walked up and said to me, "what, did you have a stroke, bud?" because I was so focused on my right hand my whole left side was disengaged/"dead."
I'm still not confident I understand double weighting. Is that essentially when both legs have the same about of weight in them pushing down?
