Hi,
to be honest I really don't see your distinction between logical and
chronological. In the English example you gave everything seems to be
in chronological succession with the last being a hypothetical event
yet all the same chronologically afterwards.

Hi Dave,
Thanks. Please pardon the term "succession."
Can there be shifts from chronological to logical within a singular
series? E.g., "he entered the city, [and] he found the court
(chronological), [and] he went before the king (chronological), [and] he
pleaded his case (chronological), so that the king would pardon him
(logical)"?
Thanks again,
David

Within a single waw series of perfect followed by imperfects, is it

narrative prose.
Succession is actually encoded in the meanings of the statements being
made. "He went
before the king. He pleaded his case." There's succession here, but it
doesn't come from
the verb forms; it comes from the fact that it's difficult to plead one's
case with the king if one
has not come before him first. Logical succession follows the same
pattern: it results from
what is being said/done, not the verb form being used to say it.
