 While this package is new, it fundamentally relies on Magnetocosmics through the [AsympDirsCalculator package](https://github.com/ssc-maire/AsymptoticDirectionsCalculator-public), and it is likely that the community will eventually create a successor for Magnetocosmics. One attempt to do this is the [OTSO software](https://github.com/NLarsen15/OTSO), which is also designed to be open-source and community oriented. We hope that in the future, AniMAIRE could be integrated with OTSO.
