A noun phrase substituted for a clause

Doctor Who

Thirteen actors have headlined the series as the Doctor. The transition from one actor to another, and the differing approach to the role that they bring, is written into the plot of the show as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(Doctor_Who) into a new http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarnation, a life process of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Lord through which the character of the Doctor takes on a new body and, to some extent, new personality, which occurs after sustaining injury which would be fatal to most other species.

I'd like to know whether the role of the underlined noun phrase is to give the additional explanation of "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(Doctor_Who) into a new http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarnation."

Thank you in advance for your help.

I don't see . . . why which . . . in the text we are discussing.

and which makes it clearer that the antecedent of this 'which' is 'a life process'.
