This seems to restore reproducibility.

e41bcc7e13 Explore the performance wall
Three points on two spheres is too much.

31d5e7e864 Play with two points on two spheres
Guess conditions that make the scaling constraint impossible to satisfy.

a450f701fb Try displaying a chain of spheres
For three mutually tangent spheres, I couldn't find real solutions.

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.

6349f298ae Extend AbstractAlgebra ideals to rational coefficients
The extension should also let us work over finite fields of prime order,
although we don't need to do that.

I think we need this to find the dimension of the solution variety.

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.
