arXiv:2608. 19831v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal Bayesian networks (CBNs) and structural causal models (SCMs) are the dominant frameworks for graphical causal reasoning, but they cannot adequately represent all real-world causal systems.

arXiv:2606. 04822v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Causal modeling of physical temporal phenomena must handle interventions that act along trajectories, nonstationary induced laws, path-dependent effects, and feedback mediated by dynamics, all challenging in standard causal models.

The paper establishes a precise mathematical link between graph surgery and the do‑operator in deterministic acyclic structural causal models. It shows that deleting arrows in a graph corresponds exactly to replacing the associated mechanisms with constants, proving that “Graph(F^\iota)=Surg(Graph(F),T_\iota)”. The authors further characterize when this equality holds for the full graph, define the intervened model, and demonstrate how sequential interventions combine, concluding that an outcome depends only on interventions at its actual dependency ancestors.

This paper introduces a categorical account of infinitesimal causality in Frobenius Markov categories equipped with tangent-bundle semantics. IDC captures the infinitesimal layer in which interventions act as tangent deformations of copy/discard structure.
