Additional notes

On the edges of the diagram, $>\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!<$ stands for contradiction, / for contrariety, $\vee$ for subcontrariety, and $\rightarrow$ for subalternation.

The edges are labeled with propositional connectives corresponding to the Aristotelian relations (cf. Theorem 1 of Smessaert & Demey, 2014, Logical Geometries and Information in the Square of Oppositions, Journal of Logic, Language and Information 23 : 527 - 565).
