Is there any possibility that the structure of the singularity at the beginning of the universe could generate a causal loop and render the universe ultimately self-caused?
You premise is flawed. There was no singularity at the beginning of the universe.

>>16959081yes there was>>16959055no space time began the moment the singularity executed, there was no time prior to that
>>16959081Evidence?
>>16959143The only singularities we know of in nature do not demonstrate this behavior of immediately executing. In fact, it is not yet rigorously proven that they change their state at all. What is the causal factor with the universe?
>>16959143> yes there wasWhy do you think that? Not even the Big Bang theory says there was a singularity - only that it was very small, but not infinitely so.
>>16959055It doesn't collapse itself or it can't loop people and creation.
