Just what does CP violation really mean?

CP symmetry refers to the theory that for whatever process underwent to transform any particle into its anti-particle, there must be a mirror image of that process (identical but in reverse).

This is what we seem to know about the universe, matter and anti-matter:

1) The existence of the universe as it is depends on the specific interactions of matter with matter and matter with antimatter, along with the forces of nature: 1) electromagnetic, 2) strong nuclear, 3) weak nuclear and 4) gravity.

2) When any part of matter and it's specific paired anti-matter interact, they annihilate. 

According to our understanding of the theories listed above and our theories about the big bang, there should have been equal amounts of matter and anti-matter in the very nan0-seconds after the big bang and that they should have annihilated after coming into contact. If this HAD happened however, there would be no matter and therefore no us and everything else (like our lovely little planet!).

Okay...so....what does cp violation mean? 

It means that, the same forces that govern particles may not necessarily govern anti-particles; that in certain cases, a particle can turn into its anti-particle and vice versa but not with the same probability in both directions.

This might mean that there are other forces that govern anti-matter...forces we have not yet identified. They might be anti-forces....like anti-weak nuclear force.....

Maybe, under the right conditions some particles consume their anti-particle, absorbing (digesting)  it into its being/existence rather  than annihilating it (and being annihilated by it!!).

Maybe it reflects the theory of yin and yang:

1) that yin and yang are opposites- this one is apparent in our current thoughts regarding matter and anti-matter

2) that yin and yang mutually consume each other- may be loosely interpreted as matter and anti-matter annihilating each other or may account for the causes behind the theory of CP violation 

3 & 4) yin and yang and intertransformation/interdepence- that yin and yang both require the other to exist and that each contains a tiny seed of the other within, and by this seed they are able to transform into their opposite- this too, may represent the cause behind the theory of CP violation. 

What if, on some immeasurable level, matter contains within it a tiny seed for anti-matter, which in the right circumstances allows for it (matter) to consume anti-matter rather than succumbing to mutual annihilation? And when the circumstances (forces?) are exactly right, the seed (anti-particle?) of the anti-matter may be released once again, 'consuming' the matter....?
