Why would a bubble of evil cause that chain reaction?

The pattern weaves human lives, not the "lives" of brick and mortar. I was thinking it was a loop for those lives in that area, a bubble of evil. With the DO making the pattern a mess, the Pattern shifted, and the threads of those people in that village were looped around and choked. The thread goes round and round, and they can't die.
Like:
Normal Life..........loop.
_______________________()
That loop is there, and pretend that the bottom is part of the thread. It goes in a circular motion. It is akin to a snag. Think of a roller coaster. At first, it is smooth, and straight. Then, construction people (DO) make the roller coaster go loopy. Then, the DO messing with the pattern makes it shift slightly, making the rails on the loop at the bottom attach, making one go in circles.
I don't know if I'm clear or not...

Is that every previous example of a bubble of evil we've seen in the series has been a quick event that had a distinct beginning and end. This event has been going on for months, they said. A months long bubble of evil just doesn't make sense.
Actual event of the repetition is a bubble of evil. I think a bubble of evil caused a chain reaction with the pattern, as it it more unstable as TG approaches.
We've not seen one do anything like that in the past.
In fact, as I was replying to this, your post brought to mind that because the pattern is becoming unstable as we get closer to TG, this could be another effect of that instability.
We know that the pattern is becoming unstable and rooms, walls, halls, and entirely buildings have altered. We've also seen people from other parts of the pattern appearing in the "now" (the ghosts in the Tower, the town Mat sees swallow a merchant, etc.).
Perhaps, this is another example of the pattern thinning between a world where the people are vicious, blood thirsty, and evil, and the one Rand, et al, are located in. That makes more sense to me than this one bubble of evil acting differently than any other we've seen.

I assumed it was a combo of Tom's "snag" capturing a bubble of evil. The bubble then gets replayed. *NM*

The Dark One's touch in this case, doesn't seem to be a bubble of evil

Singer from Creed = Scott Stapp. Delay = hinder (approximately equal, anyway). *NM*
