AFAIU WFC is not a Markov chain. See here:

https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1fb9k44q

It splits an image to cells by using convolutions, derives a set of constraints of how cells can be combined and then generates combinations that satisfy the constraints. It's a form of machine learning based on combinatorial optimisation, really.

Far as I can tell it doesn't apply any Markov assumptions anywhere, but I might just not have noticed it so please prove me wrong on that one.
