For a probabilistic linear model of cyclic structure with four variables, we prove two simple inequality-type constraints on the set of correlations. Each of the inequalities (comprising two and three correlations, respectively) facilitates the rejection of the basic model in favor of an alternative model, which differs in that it contains an additional "diagonal" connection.
