I think the metaphor is great.

Each tile has a superposition of possible states that collapse into one observed state. That’s all the metaphor is meant to mean, I think.

What are better names?

- Lego Simplices

- Tile Constraint Pairing

- Pipe Fitting

- Cartesian Convolution (nah)

- Finite automata (ok that’s fair, but subthings need names)

I dunno, I think the WFC metaphor works for me. The “wavefunction” is just the finite set of states that have a non-zero probability of being observed.
