Great Architect of the Universe (GAOTU) is a term used within Freemasonry to denominate the Supreme Being which each member individually holds an adherence to. Freemasonry is a Fraternal body which accept initiates of many Faiths , using Metaphors of Architecture , and Construction to inculcate moral, ethical and philosophical principles in the participants. The allegorical working of its ritual is based around the construction of Solomon's Temple as relayed in Tanakh . The GAOTU is also represented by the Hebrew Letters Tetragrammaton in many Masonic tracing boards. SPECULATIVE COMMENTARY An Architect is not only a person responsible for creating a building, but a person using principles of Mathematics and Geometry to Design the construction in a rational, harmonious manner. Moreover, once the plan or Blueprint has been made, the architect will in general no longer intervene in the process of construction unless there is a requirement for a change to the design. If the deity is such an architect, this means that the universe follows rational, understandable principles or "laws", which, once laid down, cannot be changed.
