Dec 24, 2023 at 16:08 comment added pzivich I still think a corresponding causal diagram would be divided into sections of time. The 'effect' of gravitational attraction needs time to occur on the relative positions of the objects (a single measurement of position is not enough). It is an interesting example though, as the unique part is the units affecting each other. The diagram here would best be one for interference, where the units can affect each other (i.e., units are not independent) arxiv.org/abs/1403.1239
Dec 23, 2023 at 19:33 comment added RobertF Perhaps a better example of simultaneity is gravitational attraction between two masses in space at position 1 ($p_1$) and position 2 ($p_2$). Each mass simultaneously (more or less) causes change in the position of the other mass $p_1$ -> $p_2$ and $p_2$ -> $p_1$.
