Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Omega's imprisonment on Gallifrey in Act 1 directly causes his anti-matter transfer attempt to escape via consciousness transfer on Earth, which the Doctor must stop. The initial confrontation via monitor (Act 1) sets up the final confrontation between them (Act 3)."
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.
