58a5c38e62 Try numerical low-rank factorization
The best technique I've found so far is the homemade gradient descent
routine in `descent-test.jl`.

717e5a6200 Extend Gram matrix automatically
The signature of the Minkowski form on the subspace spanned by the Gram
matrix should tell us what the big Gram matrix has to look like

f2000e5731 Test different sign patterns for cosines
It seems like there are real solutions if and only if the product of the
cosines is positive.

ba365174d3 Find real solutions for three mutually tangent spheres
I'm not sure why the solver wasn't working before. It might've been just
an unlucky random number draw.

af1d31f6e6 Test a scale constraint
In all but a few cases (for example, a single point on a plane), we
should be able to us the radius-coradius boost symmetry to make the
average co-radius—representing the "overall scale"—roughly one.

f97090c997 Try a cut that goes through the trivial solution
The previous cut was supposed to do this, but I was missing some parentheses.

45aaaafc8f Seek sample solutions by cutting with a hyperplane
The example hyperplane yields a single solution, with multiplicity six. You can
find it analytically by hand, and homotopy continuation finds it numerically.

a3f3f6a31b Order spheres before points within each coordinate block
In the cases I've tried so far, this leads to substantially smaller
Gröbner bases.

65d23fb667 Use module names as filenames
You're right: this naming convention seems to be standard for Julia
modules now.

The extension should also let us work over finite fields of prime order,

86dbd9ea45 Order variables by coordinate and then element
In other words, order coordinates like
  (rₛ₁, rₛ₂, sₛ₁, sₛ₂, xₛ₁, xₛ₂, xₚ₃, yₛ₁, yₛ₂, yₚ₃, zₛ₁, zₛ₂, zₚ₃)
instead of like
  (rₛ₁, sₛ₁, xₛ₁, yₛ₁, zₛ₁, rₛ₂, sₛ₂, xₛ₂, yₛ₂, zₛ₂, xₚ₃, yₚ₃, zₚ₃).

In the test cases, this really cuts down the size of the Gröbner basis.
