Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's initial act of repelling Tractators with a phosphor lamp (beat_c6efa65b43da0e10) directly enables the later use of the lamp to disrupt the gravity beam (beat_7ca4de3b8a036fa5). The lamp is given to Tegan by the Doctor in beat_26860aa743e4c18c, which is then instrumental in their escape."
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot—remove one and the story structure collapses.
