coordinates of replica I; Ri-1 and Ri+1 are the coordinates of its
neighbor replicas. The term (Grad(V) dot T') is used to remove the
component of the gradient parallel to the path which would tend to
distribute the replica unevenly along the path. Fnudge_parallel is an
artificial nudging force which is applied only in the tangent
