Oh! OK! So this symmetry breaking thing in the very early universe - it's a move from a less ordered, more homogenous state, to a more ordered, less homogenous state, right? To a state with more information in it, more entropy. This is roughly analogous - this is how my mind works - to creation stories in which the cosmos begins as a chaos from which arises order, or into which is introduced order. A comparison can be made with the primeval ocean of Ancient Near Eastern and Ancient Egyptian myth and the directionless soup of which the universe was made in that tiny fraction of a second before it began to freeze and break apart. Crucially, that ocean is inert, inactive, featureless - but full of potential.
