Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's arrival in the TARDIS causes the Doctor to want to find a safer place. The TARDIS then lands, where a monk observes the arrival. Steven's appearance necessitates a landing, triggering the attention of the temporal antagonist. This spans across Act 1 and introduces the primary conflict."
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.
