In your own words explain what symmetry breaking is given that you see that it is "no big deal". Symmetry breaking is seen all the time in nature.
Think of a marble sitting on an inverted bowl......

I suppose what I was trying to say was symmetry breaking is seen all the time in nature ...it is sort of obvious something will give just like the marble trying to sit on the bowl... it will roll off...what else would you expect...but these simple expectations are laboured upon as being novel and interesting... Is it right to say it this way..the marble is happy in a hollow (its happy symmetry state) but that happy state will change if we change its environment or break its symmetry?
AND it is true to say I dont understand the questions for they are in another language ...I would attempt answers if made in English if answers are what you want..however I will take it (with good grace) that you draw my attention to a fact I am already aware of that I do not speak math.
I thank you and my brain thanks you for stimulating us both.
