I'm not convinced that FTL necessarily results in causal violation, but the inductive diagram certainly seems immune to dispute. Your syllogism, though, didn't seem to make sense:

1) It's physical, given the Box & Space of SR/GR.
2) Specifically, Speed of Light (Photon) is the absolute upper speed limit of all the Cosmic Entities, including the speed of cosmic expansion.
3) i.e. FTL implied the violation of Causality, given SR/GR.

4) Or The Speed of Cosmic Expansion > FTL ensured that 'SR /GR' is False, given Causality...

What do you mean? More specifically, how do you find that c as a limit within spacetime necessarily results in c as a limit to spacetime itself?

FTL might or might not necessarily imply a downfall to causality on a quantum level (if back-propogation of the wave function collapse is the hidden variable which Bell seeks), but I definitely don't see how it would imply GR being disproven (SR shouldn't enter into this in any event, as it's an idealised situation).
