Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's demonstration of navigating the city's entry system (using symbols) directly informs his later ability to decipher the lethal floor pattern, reinforcing his intellectual dominance over the sentient city's tests."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's prior experience with the city's symbolic entry system (Episode 13) provides the exact analytical framework he uses to bypass the next lethal test—a booby-trapped floor—highlighting his character continuity as a puzzle-solving genius who adapts techniques across challenges.
