Why does my bread last for a while and then go bad? Or is it constantly going bad and I just haven't hit critical mass of mold for me to notice?

Correct. Mold will grow where there is food for it to grow, like bread. It will divide and grow exponentially, up to a point. That fact of exponents where they seem slow at first and then really rocket away? That's why mold seems to just appear overnight.

So it might be a fair statement to say that when I eat fresh bread there's already a molecular amount of mold already on it?
