"The Temporal Loom is the heart of the TVA. It's where raw time is refined into physical timeline."
Ouroboros to Loki, Hunter B-15 and Mobius.[src]

The Temporal Loom is a device that refines raw time into a physical timeline.

History[]

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania[]

The prototype of the Temporal Loom that Victor Timely was working on was on the table behind him as Loki recognized Victor as one of He Who Remains' variants.

Loki[]

"Ouroboros"[]

"The Temporal Loom is the heart of the TVA. It's where raw time is refined into physical timeline. And it's not constructed to weave together so many new branches, so it's overloading. I've never seen it like this."
"It looks like a disaster."
"It
is a disaster."
Ouroboros and Loki.[src]

Following the death of He Who Remains, Loki returned to the TVA where Loki and Mobius enlisted the help of O.B. to fix Loki's time slipping. O.B. revealed that Mobius would need to launch the Temporal Aura Extractor at the Temporal Loom while Loki pruned himself which would allow them to extract Loki from the time stream and fix his time slipping.

After noticing the power fluctuations in the TVA, O.B. realized that it was because the Temporal Loom was overloading and led Loki, Mobius and Hunter B-15 to it. O.B. admitted that he usually just ran diagnostics every few hundred years while Miss Minutes took care of everything else. O.B. explained that their only options to stop the meltdown were to either prune all of the new branches, or for O.B. to lock down the blast doors while he tried to figure out how to retrofit the Temporal Loom to handle all of the new branches. However, once the doors closed, Loki couldn't be resynched, so they had to act now, and the intensity of the overload caused O.B. to determine that they had about five minutes before they had no choice but to close the blast doors.

While Mobius suited up and launched the Extractor, Loki time slipped into the future where the TVA was being evacuated because the Temporal Loom was going critical. As Mobius attempted to return to the control room as the blast doors closed, Loki was suddenly pruned from behind by an unknown person and was pulled out of the Temporal Loom by the Extractor. Loki then crashed into Mobius, sending him and Loki through the blast doors just before they closed, sealing off the Temporal Loom.

"Breaking Brad"[]

While O.B. appeared to figure out a way to modify the Temporal Loom to be able to handle the new branches, he discovered that it was locked down and it required either a live scan of He Who Remains' temporal aura to unlock it or the help of Miss Minutes to override the lock.

"1893"[]

"It's stable right now, but the branches Dox pruned are growing back. So, if we can't get in there and increase the diameter of Loom's intake ring enough to boost throughput and clear that knot of unrefined time..."
"Wait a second, wait a second. Simpler."
"We need to scale the Loom's capacity to manage all those new branches, otherwise it will fail. And the TVA will be destroyed. And we're all gonna die.
"
O.B. and Loki[src]

Casey and O.B. continued to work on the Temporal Loom which had an elevated status. However, without He Who Remains' temporal aura, it couldn't be fixed. While the Temporal Loom was currently stable, the branches that General Dox had pruned were growing back. O.B. had to get inside and modify the Loom to manage all of the new branches or it would fail and the TVA would be destroyed, killing everyone. Without He Who Remains' temporal aura, their best bet was to find Miss Minutes who had administrator access to the whole TVA and could conceivably unlock the Temporal Loom.

Loki and Mobius discovered Victor Timely and sought to bring him back to the TVA because Victor, as a variant of He Who Remains, could be used to unlock the Temporal Loom with his temporal aura. It's shown that, under the manipulation of Ravonna Renslayer and Miss Minutes, Victor was working on his own version of the Temporal Loom.

"Heart of the TVA"[]

"It's simple. One of us will have to take our Throughput Multiplier down the gangway. Load the Throughput Multiplier into the launcher. Then, they'll need to hit the green button..."
"Green button."
"... and launch it towards the Loom. It will dock with the Loom, where it will scale the Loom's capacity to manage the backlog of branches that was created when... someone killed He Who Remains and released all those branches and ruined my life."
"Hang on. What's the connection between the Throughput Multiplier and the Loom?"
"The rings of the Loom aren't wide enough."
"That's correct. We need to make the rings bigger, so more branches can fit through.
"
O.B, Casey, and Loki discuss the plan to fix the Loom.[src]

As the Temporal Loom reached critical, Loki, Sylvie, Mobius, Casey, Hunter B-15, O.B. and Victor Timely tried to stop it, but their efforts were sabotaged by Ravonna Renslayer, Brad Wolfe and Miss Minutes who wished to take over the TVA for themselves. In the midst of the TVA's evacuation, Loki found and pruned his time slipping past self while O.B. rebooted the system to take Miss Minutes off-line. This deactivated the safety systems preventing Sylvie from using her magical abilities. Sylvie was then able to enchant Brad who pruned Renslayer.

Once Victor was rescued, the group was able to use his temporal aura to unlock the Loom, only to find it on the verge of explosion. Although Loki volunteered to launch the Throughput Multiplier into the Temporal Loom, Victor decided to do it himself since he knew how it worked and would be best suited to fix it if something wrong happened. However, the temporal radiation was so extreme that, even in his protective suit, Victor was almost instantly disintegrated. As the group tried to figure out what went wrong, the Temporal Loom exploded, sending a massive blastwave through the TVA, consuming everyone.

"Science/Fiction"[]

Following the explosion, a fail safe mode was initiated, and Loki began time slipping once again while all of his friends were reset to the lives that they had before being taken by the TVA. However, all of reality began falling apart with the timelines breaking down and even the TVA disintegrating. Dr. A.D. Doug - Ouroboros before he was abducted by the TVA - attempted to help Loki travel back in time to before the explosion happened by gathering everyone who was present at the time of the explosion and using their collective temporal aura to determine the coordinates that Loki needed.

Ultimately, after figuring out how to control his time slipping, Loki managed to travel back in time to before the Temporal Loom exploded by focusing on O.B., intending to "rewrite the story."

"Glorious Purpose"[]

"The Temporal Loom is a failsafe. When the Loom is overloaded with branches, it deletes the ones that aren't supposed to be there. Everything except the Sacred Timeline. And the TVA, well that's just, that's just collateral damage. Look, no biggie. Easy to rebuild."
He Who Remains reveals the truth about the Temporal Loom to Loki.[src]
