  We suggest the phenomenological model of emergence of the dynamic aether as a
result of decay of the SU(N) symmetric field configuration containing the
multiplet of vector fields. The scenario of the transition to the dynamic
aether, which is characterized by one unit timelike vector field associated
with the aether velocity, is based on the idea of spontaneous color
polarization analogous to the spontaneous electric polarization in
ferroelectric materials. The mechanism of spontaneous color polarization is
described in the framework of anisotropic cosmological model of the Bianchi-I
type; it involves into consideration the idea of critical behavior of the
eigenvalues of the tensor of color polarization in the course of the Universe
accelerated expansion. The interim stage of transition from the color aether to
the canonic dynamic aether takes the finite period of time, the duration of
which is predetermined by the phenomenologically introduced critical value of
the expansion scalar.
