Causality is fundamental to science, but it appears in several different forms. One is relativistic causality, which is tied to a spacetime structure and forbids signaling outside the future. A second is an operational notion of causation that considers the flow of information between physical systems and interventions on them. In [V. Vilasini and R. Colbeck, General framework for cyclic and fine-tuned causal models and their compatibility with space-time, Phys. Rev. A 106, 032204 (2022).PLRAAN2469-992610.1103/PhysRevA.106.032204], we propose a framework for characterizing when a causal model can coexist with relativistic principles such as no superluminal signaling, while allowing for cyclic and nonclassical causal influences and the possibility of causation without signaling. In a theory without superluminal causation, both superluminal signaling and causal loops are not possible in Minkowski spacetime. Here we demonstrate that if we only forbid superluminal signaling, superluminal causation remains possible and show the mathematical possibility of causal loops that can be embedded in a Minkowski spacetime without leading to superluminal signaling. The existence of such loops in the given spacetime could in principle be operationally verified using interventions. This establishes that the physical principle of no superluminal signaling is not by itself sufficient to rule out causal loops between Minkowski spacetime events. Interestingly, the conditions required to rule out causal loops in a spacetime depend on the dimension. Whether such loops are possible in three spatial dimensions remains an important open question.
