The concept of the canonical divergence is defined for dually flat statistical manifolds in terms of the Legendre transform between dual affine coordinates. In this article, we introduce a new two point function defined for any triple (g,∇, ∇*) of a Riemannian metric g and two affine connections ∇ and ∇*. We show that this interprets the canonical divergence without refering to the existence of special coordinates (dual affine coordinates) but in terms of only classical mechanics concerning ∇- and ∇*-geodesics. We also discuss the properties of the two point function and show that this shares some important properties with the canonical divergence defined on dually flat statistical manifolds.
