spontaneous symmetry breaking

Potential-energy field is complex-number field with different same-energy phases. Energies have many phases. Higgs field starts at high energy and goes to lowest energy {spontaneous symmetry breaking}. Higgs field can go to complex-number-field values below zero {non-zero Higgs field vacuum expectation value}, though lowest energy is zero.
