Please let me know if this is in anyway unclear.
It's not exactly unclear, but I'm left wondering why some things should be so.
So there are two oceans of fields. One ocean is the electroweak field, the other is the doublet field. Don't these oceans occupy the same space? If so, what makes them two different oceans and why aren't they considered one ocean of 8 liquids?
What does "After the doublet field took its value" mean, and why would the fact that it has taken its value cause it to require an infinite amount of energy to make a parcel/particle of just one liquid?
So, before the doublet field took its value, in addition to the single-parcel possibilities, weren't combinations of parcels possible? If not, why not?
Why do you mention particles at one point, but your list of combinations after the doublet field took its value only includes bosons?
Does the name "Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking" imply that the doublet field took its value spontaneously?
Thanks for the help, good deeds never go unpunished, as they say.
