The causets package

The LaTeX package causets lets you create (Hasse) diagrams of causal sets. Causal sets (causets) are locally finite, partially ordered sets and are consider as a framework for quantum gravity. This package is built on the package tikz, which is usually included in the standard LaTeX installations and loaded automatically with \usepackage{causets}.

The diagrams can be used inline with text or mathematical expressions, or they may be included in a TikZ pictures. The three main commands (macros) are

% causet generated from a permutation:
\pcauset{..,i,..,j,..}
% causet generated from a permutation, but some links are removed:
\rcauset{..,i,..,j,..}{..,i/j,..}
% causet with events positioned by a permutation, links are specified explicitly:
\causet{..,i,..,j,..}{..,i/j,..}

For a full documentation, please see causets.pdf. The documentation includes some examples. More examples are included at https://github.com/c-minz/LaTeX-causets/tree/main/examples
