If quantum theory is as accurate as it appears to be, then there is no “normal” succession in the sense you appear to be pointing at. Everything is divergence and interference. Some of this can be factored by lack of coherence into “branches”, though not in the sense of discrete binary splits and also somewhat subjective.
“Normal” succession is only what this looks like when the physical processes that underlie your memory and thought processes are as decoherent as everything else.
