Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's explanation of the TARDIS's isomorphic controls, leading Sutekh to realize he can control the Doctor instead of the machine directly, sets up the later necessity for the Doctor to rely on the TARDIS's time control to defeat Sutekh. This creates a causal chain of intellectual exploitation."
