The basepoint remains important because it determines the linear map used in the output pair. The derivative depends on the point at which it is evaluated.
Conditions: Applies to the basepoint derivative .
A vector field over assigns to each point a vector belonging to the tangent space at that point.
Conditions: The ambient space in this example is .
The tangent space at a point is defined as the set of ordered pairs where the second entry ranges over all of . The first slot records the basepoint and the second slot records the vector part.
Conditions: ;
The point serves as a basepoint. Retaining it motivates a basepoint-compatible notion of derivative, which is discussed next in the video.
