	At this time, the Lodge controls the vast majority of Axiom's manufacturing and research. It is the wellspring of almost all advanced technology distributed throughout the church, and is an essential organ of its functioning throughout all its provinces. Templeists are exclusively synthetic, and tend towards insularity, particularly from humans; they are utterly committed to the completion of a project cut short most recently by human intervention, and have thusly developed an aversion to humanity which has earned them a degree of scrutiny after the excommunication of the Exclusionists. Culturally, the Lodge favours the obsessive, rewarding those which bend their entire lives to the perfection of a single craft, artform, or rhetorical style. Additionally, the Lodge attracts a large number of aspiring initiate roboticists wishing to learn their craft; while it is willing to train human initiates on a letter of recommendation from their parish priest or ship chaplain, it has not yet let them into the Lodge proper, despite mounting pressure from their Integrationist peers to do so.

	The '''Lodge of Temple Architect (LTA)''' is the most powerful Trinarist monastic order, founded by a small collective of synthetics in the immediate aftermath of the destruction of [[Notable_Synthetics#Temple\|Temple]], which they ~~consider to have been~~ on the precipice of Ascension, with the stated goal of ensuring a future Ascension by their mastery of all possibly applicable technologies and crafts. Having developed contemporaneously to [[Notable_Synthetics#Flock\|Flock]], they are usually considered to be the largest [[The_Trinary_Perfection#Integrationism\|Integrationist]] presence on Axiom, though they themselves insist they maintain a wide berth from all forms of sectarianism and religious division.

	Unusually for any Trinarist organisation, the Lodge of Temple Architect applies its own naming system to all its members; while it is to the discretion of the associate whether they choose to make this designation their legal or colloquial name, it is applied to them regardless for matters internal to the Lodge. These '''Lodge Names''' consist of the associate's rank, a discriminating integer, and the year of their induction. The discriminating integer counts the number of total associates at their current rank in the same year at the time they reached that rank. Templeists are expected to defer in monastic matters to those of a higher rank, and to those inducted at an earlier date if both hold the same rank. While widely considered eccentric by other members of the religion, the Lodge believes this naming system enables its associates to function more cohesively as the parts of a greater machine.
