rules are around logging total time

The FAA has not defined "Total Time", so there are no rules about it.

True, but 61.1b12 does define "pilot time" as the total of various types of
time. And the aeronautical experience sections of part 61 refer to "total
time as a pilot", which presumably is synonymous with "pilot time".
