We investigate the causal relations in the space of states of almost commutative Lorentzian geometries. We fully describe the causal structure of a simple model based on the algebra S(R¹,¹)⊗M₂(C), which has a non-trivial space of internal degrees of freedom. It turns out that the causality condition...
