+Diagrams of sphere models for variably strict conditionals (Lewis

+
+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. It has nothing to do with Ptolemy or with
+astronomy, sorry.
+
+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.
