For a logarithmically homogeneous barrier on a proper cone, the convex conjugate with reversed argument defines a barrier on the interior dual cone. The inverse gradient relation makes $y=-\mu \nabla F(s)$ equivalent to $s=-\mu \nabla F_{†}(y)$. This gives a joint primal-dual central path without assuming the barrier is identical on a self-dual cone.
