The core tenets of the Cult Mechanicus are codified in the sixteen "[[Universal Law]]s".{{Fn|8}} Along the ages, the creed has accrued further theses, such as the [[Law of the Divine Complexity]]{{Fn|6a}}{{Fn|6b}} or the [[Third Law of Universal Variance]].{{Fn|14}}.
According to the Cult Mechanicus, knowledge is the supreme manifestation of divinity and all creatures and technology that embody knowledge are thus holy because of it. The worth of a single man is only the sum of his knowledge - his body is simply an organic machine capable of preserving intellect. It is by this motivation that the followers of the Cult Mechanicus follow the '''Quest for Knowledge''', seeking new technology and information to better themselves.{{Fn|1}}
