This paper introduces a precise mathematical correspondence between graph surgery and the do-operator for deterministic acyclic structural causal models. The research establishes that replacing target mechanisms in a model is equivalent to performing graph surgery on its dependencies. The findings characterize when a graph accurately represents a model's dependencies and detail how sequential interventions combine and influence outcomes. AI
