Dual connections
Take ∇(m), ∇(e) s.t. Christoffel symbols in m/e-coordinates vanish,
respectively.
m-geodesic: (t) = ( − t)p + tq.
e-geodesic: (t) ∝ exp(( − t) log p + t log q).

They are dual connections:
Zg(X, Y) = g(∇(m)
Z
X, Y) + g(X, ∇(e)

Cf. Levi-Civita connection ∇LC is self-dual:
Zg(X, Y) = g(∇LC
Z
