The narrative assertion
"Monoid Two announces the Doctor and Dodo will go to Refusis, and Steven is kept hostage (`beat_ddec41a992f84c6d`). This leads directly to Monoid 3 announcing the launch is ready (`beat_760540e967b398fc`)."
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.
