Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's nightmare of a volcanic eruption and pulsing crystal directly prefigures the TOM-TIT device's malfunction and power surge during the climactic demonstration. The recurring crystal imagery and the eruption motif form a causal chain where the Doctor's subconscious vision manifests as the Master's temporal experiment runs amok."

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.
