Okay, let's pretend you have a lot of toys and some of your friends have some toys too. You all sit in a circle and you want to make sure everyone has the same amount of toys.
The covector mapping principle is kind of like this. But instead of toys, we are talking about something called covectors. These are little arrows that help us understand how things change when we move around in different directions.
Imagine you have a map that shows you how to get from your house to the park. If you follow the map exactly, you will end up at the park. But what if you wanted to know how to get from the park back to your house?
This is where the covector mapping principle comes in. It helps us understand how things change when we go in different directions. So if you know how things change when you go from your house to the park, you can use the covector mapping principle to figure out how things will change when you go from the park back to your house.
It's kind of like having a secret code that helps you figure out how to get places without getting lost!
