The Main Loop & Template Loading

The main query is a WP_Query object
The main loop is using that main query
The main query is done before the template is even loaded
The template is loaded based on what the main query is
The main query is determined by parameters called query variables
Which template is loaded when is shown on the template hierarchy diagram
All templates are just custom ways of showing the main post loop
