Greetings and well met!
Well the way I see it is as follows. The ring contains most of Saurons might and as gandalf says... "The wearer does not possess the ring... it possesses him..." This would indicate a certain Id or Ego contained within the ring. Also the fact that "...it found him..." ie. Bilbo would re-enforce this.
Now this leads to the distortions of the ring. The ring had been worn by both Bilbo and Gollum and had never shown any signs of change. Yes it would @poses@ it's wearer in time but no physical signs showed on the ring itself. Only when it was put in the fire and discussions of its destruction came about did it show distortion. It somehow knew what was happening and reacted to it. That's my theory.
