No, I was wrong. It has a collection of 30 or so rocks per section and optimizes their placement in the entire section. I’ll still posit the randomness of the geometry requires more rocks than that to find a smooth fitting, and I imagine human wall makers select rocks up front with similar geometries before even beginning out of thousands of rocks then optimizes their placement during construction in a similar but less preside way than the machine.

If you watch the video closer than I did you will see it plans each stone for optimal stability and placement.
