abstract: This package provides functions to measure and test imaginary cognitive
  social structure (CSS) motifs, which are patterns of perceived relationships among
  individuals in a social network. The package includes tools for calculating motif
  frequencies, comparing observed motifs to expected distributions, and visualizing
  motif structures. It implements the methods described in Tanaka and Vega Yon (2023)
