Summary description: Diagrams of sphere models for variably strict
conditionals (Lewis counterfactuals)

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


David K. Lewis (Counterfactuals, Blackwell 1973) introduced a sphere
semantics for counterfactual conditionals. He jokingly referred to the
diagrams depicting such sphere models as Ptolemaic astronomy, hence the
name of this package. The macros provided in this package aid in the
construction of sphere model diagrams in the style of Lewis. The macros
all make use of TikZ.
