Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s early suggestion that safeguards like the Key of Rassilon may be bypassed through duplication mirrors the later revelation that procedural safeguards (like Matrix integrity and bureaucratic rules) are illusions that the Valeyard exploits to achieve his ends. Both moments underscore the theme of hidden vulnerabilities in systems meant to be impenetrable."
