Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Nyssa and Tegan’s struggle to understand TARDIS controls reflects their broader attempt to 'pilot' not just the ship but the narrative itself. Their technical probing mirrors the Doctor’s need for the Zero Room—a search for control in an incomprehensible system. Both reveal deep existential dependence on knowledge and structure."
