It's not about changing coordinates, but rather changing 'what to use as coordinates'
  • kernel → feature
  • mirror → gradient
  • Legendre → function ↔ gradient
and
  • kernel → representation geometry
  • preconditioning → optimization geometry
  • Hessian → local metric
Legendre duality is a "well-behaved special case" of convex conjugate
