Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Gomer's medical authority, asserted in ordering communications cut and barring Borusa from bureaucratic interference (during the Doctor's catalepsy), creates the context for the Doctor's later use of the hidden voiceprint door to escape. The sequestered medical environment indirectly enables the Doctor's clandestine operations."
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.
