YES

Causality can't be violated, even in principle

Special relativity is falsified.

It cites Hartle (1992) "Spacetime quantum mechanics and the quantum mechanics of spacetime".

It acknowledges that the path integral formalism allows the accommodation of indefinite causal structure for quantum gravity.

It presents the "process matrix formalism" as a promising framework for studying indefinite causal structure for quantum gravity (whether or not this is the case).
