Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cordo's initial notification of his father's death and the death tax burden (beat_123470f9cd7f95fb) directly causes his subsequent inability to pay the escalated taxes (beat_2612b68301b9e2b4). The financial crisis is explicitly triggered by this news."

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.
