Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s first sighting of the Mandragora Helix on the TARDIS viewscreen (a spiral of energy with a controlling intelligence) immediately triggers the dangerous forced entry into it. His attempt to resist by counter-magnetizing is a direct response to witnessing its power, tying observation to causal consequence."

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.
