Just to make sure I understand, if I were to use 1D WFC with 1xN tiles, would it be the same as an (N-1)th order Markov chain? Or would it be a 1st-order Markov chain with (N-1) simultaneous outputs?
In overlapping models we store probabilities for NxN blocks of colors/tiles. In non-overlapping models we store probabilities for individual colors/tiles.
