These corollaries do precisely what the philosopher George Reisch requires for laws to operate when they “divide the time over which its laws purportedly act into many small consecutive intervals or scenes. That is, covering-law explanations must be resolved into narrative temporal structures.”18 Historical sequences make up these consecutive (and contiguous) intervals over which the model of contingent-necessity operates. Corollaries 1 and 2 describe the chaotic or ordered nature of an interval depending on the temporal sequence within them; corollaries 4 and 5 describe when and why intervals shift from chaotic to ordered and vice versa. Whether these sequences are presented in the narrative or analytic form does not change the actions of the historical elements.
