Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s act of giving his coat to Grugger (a symbolic and practical ruse) sets up the confusion of dual coats. Later, Grugger’s confusion between buttons during the countdown leads to the fatal press of the wrong button — this confusion is seeded by visual and cognitive duplication created earlier."
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.
