Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Travers demanding the Doctor’s 'undivided commitment' to dealing with the Vervoid threat (beat_39bae2aa2da5145a) becomes the foundation for the Doctor’s trial defense: his drastic actions were taken under authority and necessity, which the Valeyard later exploits to charge him with genocide (beat_25f317adce457de8). The demand for commitment directly leads to the later legal confrontation."
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.
