The "G" stands for "God." The Book of The Sacred Law or the Holy Bible is the rule and guide of our Faith. The compass and square are the architect's tools and symbolize God as the creator of the universe, among other things. Another representation is the symbol of crossed compass and set square.
As measuring instruments, the tools represent judgment and discernment.
The compass, used to draw circles, represents the realm of spiritual eternity. It is symbolic of the defining and limiting principle and also of infinite boundaries.
