Denote two different singular nouns

Hi. Can the example sentence below indicate two different singular nouns, that is, a logical consequence and a historical consequence? I'm pretty sure it can mean two different plural nouns, "logical consequences" and "historical consequences." I hope my question is clear to you. Please see the underlined part. Thank you in advance for your help.
