Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's disappearance into the TARDIS (extraction from time) directly leads to his confrontation with the Inquisitor about being removed from time. This establishes the White Light sequence as the cause of the Doctor's temporal displacement and his subsequent recollection of events."
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.
