Canonical vector field on tangent bundle

On every tangent bundle , considered as a manifold itself, one can define a canonical vector field as the diagonal map on the tangent space at each point. This is possible because the tangent space of a vector space W is naturally a product, since the vector space itself is flat, and thus has a natural diagonal map given by under this product
