# Lacanian Mathemes in Ti𝑘Z
The idea with this repository is to provide open-source Ti𝑘Z diagrams of Lacan’s mathemes.

Anyone using LaTeX can copy & paste this code into their papers to display the diagrams.

If you have any ideas for improvements, just file an issue or pull request. For small changes, see here and here.
