When Dr. Chang/Marvin Candle was seen in the Dharma orientation video for the Swan describing "an incident" that occurred causing the need for the specific "protocol" of entering numbers into the computer every 108 minutes, there was something about the pause that he took before saying the words that made me wonder at the time if "the incident" weren't somehow personal to him.
After seeing more of Miles' story in "Some Like It Hoth", I think Miles himself could be the incident... not just cause it, but be it.
We know through the Orchid's orientation video that there was concern over a second rabbit #15 appearing on a shelf while Chang held the first. Chang is heard saying "Don't let them near eachother!" This theory posits that some very bad thing happens if a time-traveled being makes physical contact with its former/future self.
So if Miles' did change Baby Miles' diaper, maybe a localized black hole is created? Or something worthy of the term "maelstrom"? Maybe coming up is an occasion for Miles to hold his baby counterpart, leading to a bizarre interaction of some forces between them... this could be what leaves the baby Miles with the ability to hear the dead, while perhaps extinguishing the older?
