Description

Centered on how to build trajectories to generate proposals for algorithms in the HMC family:

- Integrate forward in time for a fixed number of steps + momentum inversion
- Alternate between integrating forward and backward in time
- Same but with the number of steps increasing geometrically

Research direction

No file or test is named; start by locating the sampling-book tutorial source covering HMC trajectories and reviewing how related material is organized. Cover fixed-step integration with momentum inversion, alternating forward and backward integration, and geometrically increasing step counts. Done means all three trajectory approaches are documented clearly for proposal generation.
