It seems to be a thought experiment on whether some process functions can exist while preserving freedom of action. They even say they aren’t concerned with space-time geometry and conclude “Further studies will be necessary to find genuine
physical scenarios realising the acausal processes we have discovered.” Somehow my world is not shaken.

Subject: [FRIAM] Time travel article
An article came out recently about a proof that time travel would not lead to the butterfly effect.
https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/amp34146674/paradox-free-time-travel-is-possible/ . This sounds great but does anybody understand it enough to explain it to a novice? Has this idea been around for a while, because Netflix's show The Umbrella
Academy touches on it?
The article says that the proof is backed up by research from Los Alamos and some experience with random walkers. I am pretty familiar with the latter. My experience is that some random walkers, a recursive path search, and patience can
solve a lot of basic computer science problems.
