Quantum theory can describe scenarios with an indefinite causal order, but whether such processes could be witnessed in real scenarios by violating causal inequalities is still subject to debate. Here, the authors give an affirmative answer, showing that noncausal processes admit a description using the framework of time-delocalised subsystems.
