Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s revelation that the Vardans can read thoughts and have invaded the Matrix (Act 1) directly leads to his audacious plan in Act 2 to dismantle the forcefield. This act of disabling defenses is framed as necessary to 'convince' the Vardans of his cooperation—an inversion of power built on the prior knowledge of Vardan surveillance."
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.
