Symmetry breaking
In Binary Pulse Theory: Hierarchical Symmetry Reduction
Same thing, new nameIn standard physics
A symmetric state settling into a less symmetric one, which gives the forces their distinct forms.
In Binary Pulse Theory
An ordered sequence of breakings from perfect symmetry down to 3 + 1 dimensional spacetime, with the information each break creates counted.
The BPT terms behind it
Hierarchical Symmetry Reduction is the ordered sequence of symmetry-breaking events by which the substrate passes from perfect symmetry, through dimensional emergence, to the differentiation of forces.
Symmetry Breaking Information is the information gained when a perfectly symmetric configuration breaks into structured asymmetry, measured as the entropy of the resulting state distribution minus the information of the initial symmetric state.
Goldstone Bosons are the gapless excitations that appear when a continuous symmetry is broken spontaneously; in the book they arise when the continuous symmetry of the unified pulse interaction breaks as the forces separate.

The standard physics term is here to help you find your way in; the book itself writes in BPT's own terms. Read them in the lexicon, or start the book at Binary Pulse Theory.
