\"\...polybricks are made of ceramic and look like cinder blocks, but fit together with others of their kind perfectly, without any need for mortar but just as safe.\
\
The designers have studied wood joinery techniques and have developed a new tapered dovetail where the direction and severity of the tapering depends on the local geometric orientation of each component.\
\
Long story short, the force of gravity locks adjacent components together because the slope of the surface is generated in such a way that the narrow end of the tapering is always near the lower face of the surface.\"\
