No. They are very different. Cross fiber friction has transverse movements across tissues and was systematized by James Cyriax. Deep tissue massage follows the tradition of Rolfing that was systematized by Ida Rolf and has techniques that are longitudinal to the tissues.

What will shiatsu be like without the concept of qi?

Hi, I'm a shiatsu therapist, so I feel qualified to answer this. Without the concept of Qi, the treatment would be exactly the same, as Shiatsu is defined by the techniques used. Without the existence of Qi (which is what I think you are getting it) a Shiatsu would be more like a sports massage, physiotherapy massage or deep tissue massage, as they are 'similar' in technique... but only loosely.

If a deep river is faster why doesnt the larger wetted perimeter increase friction and slow down the speed of the river?

The speed of a river is affected by the amount of friction slowing down the water and the grade or fall of the river. The amount of friction is determined by how rough the bed or wetted perimeter is, and how big the perimeter is. A wide shallow river or a very deep and narrow river with the same volume and grade will be in contact with similar areas of river bed, causing the same amount of friction. But a river with a semi circular shape in cross section and the same volume and grade will have less contact area with the river bed and will therefore have less friction and be faster. The steeper the grade of the river, the faster it will flow.
