Geometric kinetic energy of the harmonic oscillator
i. Overview
The configuration space of the geometric harmonic oscillator is `ConfigurationSpace`. At a configuration `q`, velocities are tangent vectors in `TangentSpace 𝓘(ℝ, EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 1)) q`.
The oscillator mass determines a Riemannian metric on `ConfigurationSpace`. At each configuration `q`, the metric is the mass-scaled Euclidean inner product on tangent vectors, recorded by `massMetricVal S q`.
The kinetic energy associated with this mass metric is `geometricKineticEnergy S q v = (1 / 2 : ℝ) * S.massRiemannianMetric.inner q v v`. In coordinates this gives the standard expression `(1 / 2 : ℝ) * S.m * ⟪tangentCoord q v, tangentCoord q v⟫_ℝ`.

A. Pointwise mass metric
The pointwise mass metric is the mass-scaled Euclidean inner product in global tangent coordinates. Its positivity, boundedness, and smoothness properties are established here before assembling the Riemannian metric.
B. Riemannian mass metric
The pointwise bilinear forms assemble into a `ContMDiffRiemannianMetric` on the oscillator configuration space.
C. Geometric kinetic energy
The geometric kinetic energy is defined directly from the oscillator's mass Riemannian metric.
D. Coordinate formula
The coordinate identities below recover the usual mass-scaled formula for kinetic energy.
