general relativity - Simplest mathematical model of a causal loop


Is there a simple mathematical model for causal loops? The physics seems pretty involved, but I'm wondering if I can understand just the math of the final answer (similar to how one can understand the evolution of a differential equation of a lagrangian that is hard to derive).



Assuming close-timelike curves can be created (and not worrying about the derivation or generation of such things), can mathematical "toy model" of causal loops be distilled out of the physics? For example, maybe an object following such a "causal loop" follows a certain differential equation or recursive relation?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
