Tautological one-form

Alright kiddo, do you know what a form is? It's basically a way to measure something. A one-form is a special kind of form that measures things along a one-dimensional line.

Now, a tautological one-form is a one-form that tells you something that you already know. It's like if I measured your height and told you that you're as tall as you are. You already know that, right?

But sometimes we use tautological one-forms in math to help us understand more complicated things. It's kind of like using a simpler problem to solve a bigger problem.

So, in short, a tautological one-form is a one-form that says something obvious, but it can help us understand other things better.
