I remember being told in the novels that Seven went back to kill six before he could become the Valeyard in some sort of "Watcher" like astral visitation...
And there has been some discord here between if the Valeyard himself is convergence of practicabilities squished together by the timelords to create a person, or the citizen of a branched off timeline born from the baring out of less dominate and improbable happenstance... because lets face it, the Master said that he has done battle with the Valeyard so the older Doctor had to be real under his own power to some degree, before or after the trial, since Tardis' can travel to "probable" future as seen in the Pyramids of death.
Remember how that Oracle described what Buffy had done when she can back from the dead after a new slayer had been tapped?
A door had been opened.
We're either looking at a divergence heading towards the birth of an evil Doctor, or this is why the Timelords frakked up his memory for the trial, hells The Doctor and the Valeyard could have been fighting for years before the Time lords called a halt to those shenanigans and insisted on a survival of the fittest showdown.
BAD Charlie!
