>How one part of the cycle causes the next part is not the same as answering why there is even an existing cycle.
A cycle is mental imputation and has no ultimate reality. Why do we require an explanation for what causes something unreal? Something unreal would cause unreal things if they are to be of the ultimate self-nature you hold.
>The contingent does not give rise to itself.Brahman does explain why there can be samsara because Brahman was there existing eternally and without any beginning as a self-established, independent, non-contingent thing.
No such thing can be demonstrated as self-established, and if it doesn't exist it cannot cause anything because it has no efficacy. Futher if it truly did exist independently it would be unable to cause anything since it would become relative and lose its independence
